Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the Lord,.... Having answered the objection and removed the discouragement of the eunuch, he now returns to the sons of the stranger, who also join themselves to the Lord, as the eunuch had done; see Isaiah 56:4 and who do this,
to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants; who give up themselves to him, not only to be saved by him, but to serve him in righteousness and holiness, with reverence and godly fear, and from a principle of love to him; being heartily desirous, and accounting it an honour, to be his servants:
everyone that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Isaiah 56:4- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Also the sons of the stranger - (see the note at Isaiah 56:3). The conditions on which they should be admitted to the same privileges are specified, and are the following:
1. They were to âjoin themselves to the Lordâ (see the note at Isaiah 56:3).
2. This should be with a purpose to âserve him.â Their aim and design should be to keep his commandments and to do his will.
3. They were to âlove the name of the Lord;â that is, to love Yahweh himself, for the ânameâ of the Lord is often used as denoting the Lord himself.
4. They were to keep his sabbaths (see the notes at Isaiah 56:4).
5. They were to take hold of his covenant (see the notes at Isaiah 56:4).
On these conditions the sons of the foreigner were to be admitted to all the privileges of the children of God, and to be united with all who love and serve him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 56:6. The sons of the stranger — The Gentiles.
That join themselves to the Lord — Who shall enter into the Christian covenant by baptism and faith in Christ, as the Jews and proselytes did by circumcision.
To serve him — To live according to the Gospel, and ever do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
To love the name of the Lord — The name of JESUS, the Christ, the Saviour of sinners, the Anointed of God, and the Giver of the Holy Spirit to his followers.
To be his servants — To worship no other God but JEHOVAH, and to trust in none for salvation but his CHRIST.
That keepeth the Sabbath — That observes it as a type of the rest that remains for the people of God.
And taketh hold of my covenant — ××ר××ª× biberithi, "of my covenant sacrifice;" as without this he can do nothing good; and without it nothing can be acceptable to the infinite majesty of the Most High.
