Commentary on Isaiah 42:11

Theological / Devotional

Kedar. An Arabian tribe descended from Ishmael (Gen. 25:13, 7; see Isa. 21:13, 16; Eze. 27:21). They had black tents (S. of Sol. 1:5), and kept flocks and camels (Isa. 60:7; Jer. 49:28, 29); Here they are mentioned together with “the inhabitants of the rock,” which is Sela (see on Isa. 16:1), or Petra (see on 2 Kings 14:7), as representatives of distant peoples that would hear the message of God’s grace and turn to Him with praise and singing (see pp. 28-30).
