Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 49:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. Sinim —The Arabians and other Asiatics called China Sin, or Tchin; the Chinese had no special name for themselves, but either adopted that of the reigning dynasty or some high-sounding titles. This view of "Sinim" suits the context which requires a people to be meant "from far," and distinct from those "from the north and from the west" [GESENIUS]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
