And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Isaiah 66:19 — KJV
Set a sign. Dead Sea scroll 1QIs reads “set signs.” What this “sign” is or what these “signs” were is not disclosed. The phrase “set a sign” is probably parallel to “see my glory.” Having seen God’s “glory,” or “sign,” those who escaped destruction would declare to the nations what had been revealed to them concerning God.
Tarshish. Generally identified with Tartessus in Spain (see on Gen. 10:4).
Pul. This place is not definitely known, but it is thought to represent an African place or people. Some think Pul is a misspelling of Put (see on Eze. 27:10). However, Dead Sea scroll 1QIs reads “Pul.”
Lud. A region in Mesopotamia or in Asia Minor (see on Gen. 10:13, 22).
Tubal. A Japhetic tribe living near the Black Sea (see on Eze. 38:2).
Javan. The usual Hebrew name for the Ionians, or Greeks (see on Gen. 10:2).
Isles. Or, “coastlands”. The places named represent far-off lands in general that had not before heard of the God of Israel, but were now to know Him through the preaching of the envoys.
