Isaiah 6:13
_ _ and it shall return, and ... be eaten — Rather, “but it shall be again given over to be consumed”: if even a tenth survive the first destruction, it shall be destroyed by a second (Isaiah 5:25; Ezekiel 5:1-5, Ezekiel 5:12), [Maurer and Horsley]. In English Version, “return” refers to the poor remnant left in the land at the Babylonish captivity (2 Kings 24:14; 2 Kings 25:12), which afterwards fled to Egypt in fear (2 Kings 25:26), and subsequently returned thence along with others who had fled to Moab and Edom (Jeremiah 40:11, Jeremiah 40:12), and suffered under further divine judgments.
_ _ tell — rather, “terebinth” or “turpentine tree” (Isaiah 1:29).
_ _ substance ... when ... cast ... leaves — rather, “As a terebinth or oak in which, when they are cast down (not ‘cast their leaves,’ Job 14:7), the trunk or stock remains, so the holy seed (Ezra 9:2) shall be the stock of that land.” The seeds of vitality still exist in both the land and the scattered people of Judea, waiting for the returning spring of God’s favor (Romans 11:5, Romans 11:23-29). According to Isaiah, not all Israel, but the elect remnant alone, is destined to salvation. God shows unchangeable severity towards sin, but covenant faithfulness in preserving a remnant, and to it Isaiah bequeaths the prophetic legacy of the second part of his book (the fortieth through sixty-sixth chapters). |
Isaiah 6:13
A tenth — A small remnant reserved, that number being put indefinitely. Return — Out of the Babylonish captivity, into their own land. Eaten — That remnant shall be devoured a second time, by the kings of Syria, and afterwards by the Romans. Yet — Yet there shall be another remnant, not such an one as that which came out of Babylon, but an holy seed, who shall afterwards look upon him whom they have pierced, and mourn over him. When — Who when their leaves are cast in winter, have a substance within themselves, a vital principle, which preserves life in the root of the tree, and in due time sends it forth into all the branches. The support — Of the land or people, which, were it not for the sake of these, should be finally rooted out. |
Isaiah 6:13
But yet in it [shall be] (q) a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, (r) and as an oak, whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance of it.
(q) Meaning, the tenth part: or as some write, it was revealed to Isaiah for the confirmation of his prophecy that ten kings would come before their captivity, as were from Uzziah to Zedekiah.
(r) For the fewness of them they will seem to be eaten up: yet they will later flourish as a tree, which in winter loses leaves, and seems to be dead, yet in summer is fresh and green. |

- teil tree:
- The teil-tree is the linden or lime-tree, a species very common in Palestine; the leaf of which resembles that of the laurel, and its flower that of the olive. But the original ailah which our translators render the oak (but here distinguished from allon the oak), and Bp. Lowth the ilex in
Isaiah 1:29-30 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. ... For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
, probably denotes, as Celsius contends, the terebintḣ It is an evergreen of moderate size, but having the top and branches large in proportion to the trunk; leaves, like those of the olive, but green intermixed with red and purple; flowers, like those of the vine, growing in bunches, and purple; fruit, of a ruddy purple, the size of a juniper berry, hanging in clusters, very juicy, and containing a single seed of the size of a grape stone; wood, hard and fibrous, from which a resin distils; with an excresence scattered among the leaves, of the size of a chestnut, of a purple colour, variegated with green and white.

- so the holy:
