Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 60:6

_ _ camels — laden with merchandise; the camel is “the ship of the desert” (compare Isaiah 30:6).

_ _ cover thee — so many of them shall there be.

_ _ dromedaries — They have one hunch on the back, whereas the camel has two: distinguished for swiftness (Jeremiah 2:23).

_ _ Midian — east of the Elanitic branch of the Red Sea, and stretching northward along Mount Seir. Associated with the Ishmaelites in traffic (Genesis 37:25, Genesis 37:28).

_ _ Ephah — part of Midian, east of the Dead Sea. It abounded in camels (Judges 6:5).

_ _ Sheba — in Arabia-Felix, famed for frankincense and gold (Psalms 72:15; Jeremiah 6:20), which they traded in (Isaiah 45:14; Job 6:19; Ezekiel 27:22).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 60:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 60:6

The multitude — The treasure, that is brought upon camels. By these, and such like figurative expressions in several verses of this chapter is implied the coming in of all nations to Christ, and therefore they are brought in as presenting the chief commodities of their respective countries. Dromedaries — A smaller sort of camel. Ephah — The Midianites, and Ephahites dwelt beyond Arabia. Sheba — A country in Arabia Felix, whose queen it was, that came to visit Solomon, and her bringing gifts might be a type of this, Solomon being a type of Christ. Gold — The principal commodities with which this country abounded, by which we are to understand whatever is precious.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 60:6

The (f) multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD.

(f) Meaning, that everyone will honour the Lord with that with which he is able: Signifying that it is no true serving of God unless we offer ourselves to serve his glory, and all that we have.
