Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 60:6

Theological / Devotional

The multitude of camels. The previous verse refers to “wealth” coming by sea. Here caravans, commerce by land, are pictured.

Midian. A region in the desert of Arabia (see on Ex. 2:15).

Ephah. A Midianite tribe (Gen. 25:4; 1 Chron. 1:33), and here the region they inhabited.

Sheba. Probably a reference to a region in southern Arabia (Gen. 10:7, 28). Compare the visit of the queen of Sheba to Solomon (1 Kings 10:1-10). In Matt. 12:42 she is called “the queen of the south.” The psalmist foretold a time when the kings of Sheba would offer gifts to Israel’s glorious king (Ps. 72:10, 11).
