SEV Biblia, Chapter 35:7
El lugar seco será tornado en estanque, y el sequedal en manaderos de aguas; en la habitación de dragones, en su cama, será lugar de cañas y de juncos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 35:7
Verse 7. The parched ground "The glowing sand"] br sharab; this word is Arabic, as well as Hebrew, expressing in both languages the same thing, the glowing sandy plain, which in the hot countries at a distance has the appearance of water. It occurs in the Koran, chap. 24.: "But as to the unbelievers, their works are like a vapor in a plain, which the thirsty traveler thinketh to be water, until, when he cometh thereto, he findeth it to be nothing. " Mr. Sale's note on this place is, "The Arabic word serab signifies that false appearance which in the eastern countries is often seen on sandy plains about noon, resembling a large lake of water in motion, and is occasioned by the reverberation of the sun beams: 'by the quivering undulating motion of that quick succession of vapours and exhalations which are extracted by the powerful influence of the sun.'-Shaw, Trav. p. 378. It sometimes tempts thirsty travelers out of their way; but deceives them when they come near, either going forward, (for it always appears at the Same distance,) or quite vanishing. " Q. Curtius has mentioned it: "Arenas vapor aestivi solis accendit; camporumque non alia, quam vasti et profundi aequoris species est." - Lib. vii., c. 5. Dr. Hyde gives us the precise meaning and derivation of the word. "Dictum nomen Barca hqrbh habberakah, splendourem, seu splendentem regionem notat; cum ea regio radiis solaribus tam copiose collustretur, ut reflexum ab arenis lumen adeo intense fulgens, a longinquo spectantibus, ad instar corporis solaris, aquarum speciem referat; et hinc arenarum splendour et radiatio, (et lingua Persica petito nomine,) dicitur serab, i.e., aquae superficies seu superficialis aquarum species. " Annot. in Peritsol., cap. ii.
"Shall spring forth"] The h he in hxbr rebitseh seems to have been at first m mem in MS. Bodl., whence Dr. Kennicott concludes it should be µyxbr rebitsim. But instead of this word the Syriac, Vulgate, and Chaldee read some word signifying to grow, spring up, or abound. Perhaps hxrp paretsah, or wxrp paretsu, or ryxjh Årp parats hachatsir, as Houbigant reads. - L.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The flourishing state of Christ's kingdom. (Is. 35:1-4) The privilege of his people. (Is. 35:5-10)
Is. 35:1-4 Judea was prosperous in the days of Hezekiah, but the kingdom of Christ is the great subject intended. Converting grace make the soul that was a wilderness, to rejoice with joy and singing, and to blossom abundantly. The feeble and faint-hearted are encouraged. Thi is the design of the gospel. Fear is weakening; the more we striv against it, the stronger we are, both for doing and suffering; and he that says to us, Be strong, has laid help for us upon One who is mighty. Assurance is given of the approach of Messiah, to tak vengeance on the powers of darkness, to recompense with abundan comforts those that mourn in Zion; He will come and save. He will com again at the end of time, to punish those who have troubled his people and to give those who were troubled such rest as will be a full rewar for all their troubles.
Is. 35:5-10 When Christ shall come to set up his kingdom in the world then wonders, great wonders, shall be wrought on men's souls. By the word and Spirit of Christ, the spiritually blind were enlightened; an those deaf to the calls of God were made to hear them readily. Thos unable to do any thing good, by Divine grace were made active therein Those that knew not how to speak of God or to God, had their lip opened to show forth his praise. When the Holy Ghost came upon the Gentiles that heard the word, then were the fountains of life opened Most of the earth is still a desert; neither means of grace, spiritual worshippers, nor fruits of holiness, are to be found in it. But the way of religion and godliness shall be laid open. The way of holiness is the way of God's commandment; it is the good old way. And the way to heaven is a plain way. Those knowing but little, and unlearned, shal be kept from missing the road. It shall be a safe way; nothing can d them any real hurt. Christ, the way to God, shall be clearly mad known; and the way of a believer's duty shall be plainly marked out Let us then go forward cheerfully, assured that the end of this wa shall be everlasting joy, and rest for the soul. Those who by faith ar made citizens of the gospel Zion, rejoice in Christ Jesus; and their sorrows and sighs are made to flee away by Divine consolations. Thu these prophecies conclude. Our joyful hopes and prospects of eterna life should swallow up all the sorrows and all the joys of this presen time. But of what avail is it to admire the excellence of God's word unless we can call its precious promises our own? Do we love God, no only as our Creator, but because he gave his only Son to die for us And are we walking in the ways of holiness? Let us try ourselves by such plain questions, rather than spend time on things that may be curious and amusing, but are unprofitable __________________________________________________________________
