Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 60:16

Theological / Devotional

The milk. Isaiah introduces another figure for the wealth and resources of the Gentiles, which would flow to Jerusalem in a steady stream (see on vs. 5-7, 11). Compare chs. 49:23; 61:6; 66:12. Upon leaving Egypt the children of Israel were to receive gifts from their erstwhile masters (see on Ex. 3:22). Upon their return from Babylonian captivity the Jews received voluntary gifts of silver and gold from their neighbors and friends, and also from the royal treasury (Ezra 1:6 ; 7:15, 16, 21-23).

Thou shalt know. See on Eze. 6:7.
