Context — The LORD’s Vineyard
4I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her? 8By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.Cross References

If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either. Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Isaiah 27:6 Summary
This verse is a beautiful promise from God that one day, the people of Israel will experience a time of great growth and abundance, and will be a blessing to the whole world. This will happen when they 'take root' and become established in their faith, and will result in a overflowing of spiritual fruit that will bring life and nourishment to all nations, as seen in Isaiah 49:6. Just like a tree that is planted by a stream and bears much fruit, Israel will be a source of joy and blessing to the world, and will fulfill their calling as a light to the Gentiles, as seen in Isaiah 42:6. This is a reminder that God is always working to fulfill His promises and bring about a brighter future for His people, and that we can trust in His goodness and sovereignty, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Jacob to 'take root' in Isaiah 27:6?

The phrase 'in the days to come' suggests that this is a prophecy about a future time, when God will fulfill His promises to Israel, as seen in Ezekiel 36:24 and Romans 11:25-26.

This phrase suggests a time of new life and growth for Israel, much like the blossoming of a flower, which is a symbol of hope and renewal, as seen in Isaiah 35:1-2, where the desert blossoms like a rose.

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 27:6
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root,.... That is, the posterity of Jacob, the seed of Israel, in a spiritual sense; such who are Israelites indeed, in whom there is no guile; these
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 27:6
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. He - Yahweh.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 27:6
To take root; to be firmly settled in their possessions, and not tossed hither and thither, as they have been. Fill the face of the world with fruit; their posterity shall be so numerous, that their own land shall not be sufficient for them, but they shall be forced to seek habitations in other countries, and shall replenish them with people. But this seems to be understood of the spiritual seed of Jacob, or of believers, who are oft called God’ s Israel, as , and elsewhere.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 27:6
Isaiah 27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.Ver. 6. He shall cause them that come to Jacob,] i.e., His proselytes; or, that come from Jacob, i.e., his posterity. Vitium haec conditio est, The condition of vines is such as that they must undergo cold blasts and hard winters; howbeit, at the return of the spring they recover their verdure, and flourish again. So shall the seed of Jacob: their dead shall live, and the mountain of the Lord shall be exalted above all mountains.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 27:6
(6) He shall cause them that come of Jacob . . .—Better, In the days that come Jacob shall strike root. The figure of Israel as the vine of Jehovah’s vineyard is carried to its close. The true Israel of God shall go through its normal stages of growth, and its restoration shall be as “the riches of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:12; Hosea 14:6). With this picture of blessedness the psalm of the Church of the future comes to an end.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 27:6
Verse 6. To take root - "From the root"] For ישרש yashresh, I read, with the Syriac, משרש mishshoresh. And for יציץ ופרח yatsits uparach, יציצו פרח yatsitsu parach, joining the ו vau to the first word, and taking that into construction with the first part of the sentence, Israel shall bud forth. I suppose the dialogue to be continued in this verse, which pursues the same image of the allegory, but in the way of metaphor.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 27:6
6. The verse is attached to the song, but forms no integral part of it. It reads as in R.V.: In days to come shall Jacob take root, &c. By a unique ellipsis the word “days” is omitted in the original; hence the mistaken rendering of A.V., “them that come.” and fill the face of the world with fruit] For a contrast see ch. Isaiah 14:21. The fruitfulness anticipated belongs to the sphere of temporal prosperity,—teeming population, &c.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 27:6
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root - This language is derived from the vine, as the shoots or cuttings of the vine take root and flourish.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 27:6
6. The song of the vineyard is here explained. The posterity of Jacob, the true Israel which God owns, shall, as this divinely nourished vine, take root, grow, extend branches, send down new roots,
