Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 66:20

_ _ they — the Gentiles (Isaiah 66:19).

_ _ bring ... your brethren — the Jews, back to the Holy Land (Isaiah 49:22). It cannot mean the mere entrance of the Jews into the Christian Church; for such an entrance would be by faith, not upon “horses, litters, and mules” [Houbigant]. “Offering” is metaphorical, as in Romans 15:16.

_ _ horses — not much used by the Jews. The Gentiles are here represented as using their modes of conveyance to “bring” the Jews to Jerusalem.

_ _ chariots — as these are not found in Oriental caravans, translate, “vehicles,” namely, borne, not drawn on wheels.

_ _ litters — covered sedans for the rich.

_ _ upon swift beasts — dromedaries: from Hebrew root, “to dance,” from their bounding motion, often accelerated by music [Bochart]. Panniers were thrown across the dromedaries’ back for poorer women [Horsley].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 66:15-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 66:20

Your brethren — Those who are the children of Abraham, not considered as the father of the Jewish nation only, but considered as the father of many nations, and as the father of the faithful, and so are your brethren, shall be brought out of all nations for an offering to the Lord. Holy mountain — And they shall be brought into the church, which began at Jerusalem. As — And they shall come with as much joy and gladness, with as much sincerity and holiness, as the Godly Jews do when they bring their offerings in clean vessels.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 66:20

And they shall bring all your (f) brethren [for] an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon (g) horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

(f) That is the Gentiles, who by faith will be made the children of Abraham as you are.

(g) By which he means that no necessary means will want, when God will call the Gentiles to the knowledge of the gospel.
