Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 51:20

Theological / Devotional

A wild bull. Heb. to’, a word that occurs only here and in Deut. 14:5, and whose meaning is uncertain. It was apparently a clean wild animal (see Deut. 14:5) identified by some as the wild sheep and by others as the antelope. Jerusalem is described as in a state of siege, its defenders fallen in the streets. They are like a wild animal taken in a net, struggling frantically to escape, and finally overcome with exhaustion.
