Commentary on Isaiah 65:23

Theological / Devotional

Bring forth. Heb. yalad, “to bring forth children” (see MM 99).

Trouble. Heb. behalah, “sudden terror.” Behalah occurs also in Lev. 26:16; Ps. 78:33; Jer. 15:8. Women would not beget children to be cut off by disease, disaster, or war.

Offspring with them. The picture is that of a large, happy, and prosperous patriarchal family. They live together in peace, and work together for the common good. They are all children of a common Father, and thus all are brethren, and all have the same interests at heart.
