Bible Question:
Isaiah 61:3 Oaks of Righteousness? (Amp.) In Isaiah 61:3 it says To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. What does it mean by this? Does this have a hidden meaning and/or represent someting entirely different? Why out of all the other kinds of trees was the oak chosen? What makes it so special? |
Bible Answer: Hi gatorgirl7563, The NASB Study Bible has for an alternate reading "[Or, terebinths] of righteousness". terebinth: a small European tree of the cashew family, whose cut bark yields a turpentine. turpentine: a colorless, volatile essential oil,...used in paints, varnishes, etc., and in medicine; **SPIRITS of turpentine; **OIL of turpentine. Isaiah 61:2, "To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The **OIL of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a **SPIRIT of fainting. So they will be called **TEREBINTHS of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." Terebinths makes sense to my mind. Just in passing, may I state that I agree with the NASB over the NKJ for Isaiah 61:1, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, [NKJ, Me] Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives, And freedom to prisoners." The comparison of Isaiah 6l:2 and Isa 63:4 is interesting I think: To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord--And My year of redemption has come. Luke 4:20, "And He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him." From the heart, Ray |
