Commentary on Isaiah 4:5

Theological / Devotional

And the shining. Dead Sea scroll 1QIs (see Vol. I, p. 31; Vol. IV, pp. 86-88) omits these words, and on through “in the daytime” in v. 6. This is obviously an error on the part of the scribe who copied the Dead Sea scroll, or it was already missing in the document from which he made his copy. Such errors in copying are common in ancient manuscripts.

Upon all the glory. Like a pavilion, the overshadowing Presence will provide guidance, assurance, safety, and peace.
