Commentary on Isaiah 60:19

Theological / Devotional

No more. The sun will not cease to exist when the earth is restored, but the city will no longer need it (Rev. 21:23 ; 22:5).

Everlasting light. All Hebrew words following this phrase up to and including the same words in v. 20 are missing in Dead Sea scroll 1QIs. This is a clear case of a frequently occurring scribal error, called homoeoteleuton. The eye of the scribe unwittingly switched from the first occurrence of this repeated phrase to the second, and thus missed all the words between. The Dead Sea scroll 1QIs has this passage.
