Commentary on Isaiah 49:5

Theological / Devotional

And now. Messiah is again the speaker.

Though Israel be not gathered. Reading lo, “to him,” rather than lo\ “not,” nine Hebrew manuscripts, the Targums (marginal reading), and Dead Sea scroll 1QIs render this clause, “and Israel shall be gathered to him.” Christ came to bring Israel back again to God (see Eze. 34:11-16; Matt. 15:24).
