Zephaniah 3:10

_ _ From beyond ... Ethiopia my suppliants — literally, “burners of incense” (compare Psalms 141:2; Revelation 5:8; Revelation 8:3, Revelation 8:4). The Israelites are meant, called “the daughter of My dispersed,” a Hebrew idiom for My dispersed people. “The rivers of Ethiopia” are those which enclose it on the north. In the west of Abyssinia there has long existed a people called Falashas, or “emigrants” (akin to the synonym “Philistine”). These trace their origin to Palestine and profess the Jewish religion. In physical traits they resemble the Arabs. When Bruce was there, they had a Jewish king, Gideon, and his queen, Judith. Probably the Abyssinian Christians were originally in part converted Jews. They are here made the representatives of all Israel which is to be restored.

_ _ shall bring mine offering — that is, the offering that is My right. I prefer, with De Wette and Chaldee Version, making “suppliants” the objective case, not the nominative. The peoples: (Zephaniah 3:8, Zephaniah 3:9), brought to fear Me by My judgments, “shall bring as Mine offering My suppliants (an appropriate term for the Jews, on whom then there shall have been poured the spirit of supplications, Zechariah 12:10), the daughter of My dispersed.” So Isaiah 66:20, “they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord.” Compare Horsley’s view of Isaiah 18:1, Isaiah 18:2, Isaiah 18:7. England in this view may be the naval power to restore Israel to Palestine (Isaiah 60:9). The Hebrew for “Ethiopia” is Cush, which may include not only Ethiopia, but also the region of the Tigris and Babylon, where Nimrod, Cush’s son (Genesis 10:8-12), founded Nineveh and acquired Babylon, and where the ten tribes are mentioned as being scattered (1 Peter 1:1; 1 Peter 5:13; compare Isaiah 11:11). The restoration under Cyrus of the Jews transported under Pharaoh-necho to Egypt and Ethiopia, was an earnest of the future restoration under Christ.
