Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 52:15

15. sprinkle many —GESENIUS, for the antithesis to "be astonished," translates, "shall cause . . . to exult." But the word universally in the Old Testament means either to sprinkle with blood, as the high priest makes an expiation ( Leviticus 4:6 ; Leviticus 16:18 ; Leviticus 16:19 ); or with water, to purify ( Leviticus 16:19- : ; compare as to the Spirit, Leviticus 16:19- : ), both appropriate to Messiah ( John 13:8 ; Hebrews 9:13 ; Hebrews 9:14 ; Hebrews 10:22 ; Hebrews 12:24 ; 1 Peter 1:2 ). The antithesis is sufficient without any forced rendering. Many were astonished; so many (not merely men, but) nations shall be sprinkled. They were amazed at such an abject person claiming to be Messiah; yet it is He who shall justify and purify. Men were dumb with the amazement of scorn at one marred more than the lowest of men, yet the highest: even kings ( Isaiah 49:7 ; Isaiah 49:23 ) shall be dumb with awe and veneration ("shut . . . mouths"; Job 29:9 ; Job 29:10 ; Micah 7:16 ). that . . . not . . . told them —the reason why kings shall so venerate them; the wonders of redemption, which had not been before told them, shall then be announced to them, wonders such as they had never heard or seen parallelled ( Isaiah 55:1 ; Romans 15:21 ; Romans 16:25 ; Romans 16:26 ). return to ' Top of Page ' Isaiah Isa 51 Isaiah Isa Isaiah Isa 53 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are a derivative of an electronic edition prepared from text scanned by Woodside Bible Fellowship.
