Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 30:29
Theological / DevotionalA holy solemnity. The sacred feast here alluded to is probably the Feast of Tabernacles, in the autumn when the fruits had been gathered (Lev. 23:34, 39-43; Neh. 8:14-18). This was an occasion of great joy. In later times the feast included a night ritual in which the court of the Temple was illuminated by great lamps hoisted atop two lofty standards, which shed their beams far across the city (see DA 463). The Feast of Tabernacles was often termed “the feast” (1 Kings 8:2; 2 Chron. 7:8, 9). The ceremony of the lights commemorated the pillar of light that guided Israel in their march through the desert and pointed forward to the coming of Messiah as the Light of the world. On this occasion the people made their way with great happiness of spirit to Jerusalem, singing sacred songs and playing pipes.
The mighty One of Israel. Literally, “the Rock of Israel” (see Deut. 32:4; Ps. 18:2, 31, 46; etc.; Isa. 2:10; 17:10).
