Commentary on Isaiah 21:16

Theological / Devotional

A year. The Dead Sea scroll lQIs reads “three years.”

The years of an hireling. See on ch. 16:14. A hireling would not work more than the time that had been bargained for. The meaning is that the fall of Kedar would not be delayed. Within a year the specified judgment was certain to fall.

Very small and feeble. Moab was not to be completely destroyed. A remnant would be left, but that remnant would be small and weak.
