Context — God's Promise to the Nationsgenerated

18“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
19I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
20And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”
21“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.

Isaiah 66:19 reveals God's intention to establish a sign among His people and send survivors to various nations, including Tarshish and Javan, to proclaim His glory. This prophecy emphasizes God's desire for His name to be known beyond Israel and highlights His sovereignty over all nations. The surrounding verses, particularly Isaiah 66:18, set the stage for this mission, as God gathers all nations to witness His glory.

The Key Word אוֹת, 'otgenerated

The Hebrew word אוֹת (ot) means 'sign' and can refer to a miraculous token or wonder. It is often used in the context of divine acts that signify God's presence or intervention, such as in Exodus 4:8.

In this verse, it signifies a miraculous sign that God will establish among His people, indicating His power and intention to reach out to the nations. The use of this word underscores the significance of God's actions as a means of revealing His glory.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Translations agree that the verse emphasizes God's intention to send survivors to the nations and proclaim His glory.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb וְשַׂמְתִּ֨י, ve.sam.Ti (and I will establish), governs the main clause, with several phrases detailing what God will do: a sign will be established, survivors will be sent, and various nations will be named.

The structure emphasizes a sequence of actions, with the verb leading the thought and the subsequent phrases elaborating on the scope and recipients of God's message.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates אוֹת as σημεῖα (semeia), which also means 'sign' but can imply a broader range of miraculous signs or tokens. This choice aligns with the idea of divine intervention and communication.

The translation of הַגּוֹיִ֞ם as ἔθνη (ethne) reflects the same concept of nations, emphasizing the inclusivity of God's message to all peoples.

It is on all hands agreed that this verse is a prophecy of the conversion of the Gentiles.

Or, as others, the ministry of the word attended with miracles (often called signs); these were set up among the Jews first, then among the Gentiles. Others (but less probably) understand by sign a mark of distinction, like that mentioned ; so as, saith he, some shall escape and not be destroyed; and for those that shall escape, I will send them to Tarshish, Pul, Lud, Tubal, Javan, to Europe, Asia, and Africa, to all the…

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) I will set a sign among them . . .—The “sign” may be one of supernatural terror in the work of judgment, or, as the context makes more probable, of supernatural deliverance. The thought of a “remnant” to be saved is still characteristically dominant, and that “remnant” is to act as heralds of Jehovah to the far-distant nations who had not been sharers in any open antagonism to Israel, and who were, therefore, not involved in the great judgment. Of these the prophet names Tarshish, either definitely for Spain, or vaguely for the far west. Pul is not found elsewhere as the name of a nation, and stands probably for “Phut,” as in the LXX., found in common with “Lud” in Ezekiel 27:10…

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Verse 19. That draw the bow] I much suspect that the words משכי קשת moshechey kesheth, who draw the bow, are a corruption of the word משך meshek, Moschi, the name of a nation situated between the Euxine and Caspian seas; and properly joined with תבל tubal, the Tibareni. See Bochart, Phaleg. iii. 12. The Septuagint have μοσοχ, without any thing of the drawers of the bow: the word being once taken for a participle, the bow was added to make sense of it קשת kesheth, the bow, is omitted in a MS. and by the Septuagint. That have not heard my fame - "Who never heard my name"] For שמעי shimi, my fame, I read, with the Septuagint and Syriac, שמי shemi, my name.

Tarshish

A Sanscrit or Aryan word, meaning “the sea coast.” (1.) One of the “sons” of Javan (Gen. 10:4; 1 Chr. 1:7).

(2.) The name of a place which first comes into notice in the days of Solomon. The question as to the locality of Tarshish has given rise to not a little discussion. Some think there was a Tarshish in the East, on the Indian coast, seeing that “ships of Tarshish” sailed from Eziongeber, on the Red Sea (1 Kings 9:26; 22:48; 2 Chr. 9:21).

Pul

(1.) An Assyrian king. It has been a question whether he was identical with Tiglath-pileser III. (q.v.), or was his predecessor. The weight of evidence is certainly in favour of their identity. Pul was the throne-name he bore in Babylonia as king of Babylon, and Tiglath-pileser the throne-name he bore as king of Assyria. He was the founder of what is called the second Assyrian empire. He consolidated and organized his conquests on a large scale. He subdued Northern Syria and Hamath, and the kings of Syria rendered him homage and paid him tribute. His ambition was to found in Western Asia a kingdom which should embrace the whole civilized world, having Nineveh as its centre. Menahem, king of Israel, gave him the enormous tribute of a thousand talents of silver, “that his hand might be with him” (2 Kings 15:19;

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

1. An Assyrian king, about 765 B. C., when Assyria is first mentioned in Scripture after the time of Nimrod. He invaded Israel during the reign of Menhem, but was induced to retire by a present of a thousand talents of silver, equivalent to at least a million and a half of dollars, 2Ki 15:19,20; 1Ch 5:26.

Bow

The bow was in use in early times both in war and in the chase (Gen. 21:20; 27:3; 48:22). The tribe of Benjamin were famous for the use of the bow (1 Chr. 8:40; 12:2; 2 Chr. 14:8; 17:17); so also were the Elamites (Isa. 22:6) and the Lydians (Jer. 46:9). The Hebrew word commonly used for bow means properly to tread (1 Chr. 5:18; 8:40), and hence it is concluded that the foot was employed in bending the bow. Bows of steel (correctly “copper”) are mentioned (2 Sam. 22:35;

(Genesis 37:10) The eastern mode of salutation, by kneeling upon one knee and bending the head forward till it touched the ground.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

A weapon much used in ancient times, both for hunting and for war. It was made of wood, horn, or steel, Ge 27:3 Ps 18:34; and the foot was sometimes used in bending it. It was carried in a case, when not used, Hab 3:19. The Benjamites were celebrated for their skill in the use of this weapon, 1Ch 12:2 2Ch 14:8 17:17. See ARMS. The phrase, "a deceitful bow," to which the people of Israel are compared, Ps 78:57 Ho 7:16, means an ill-made or twisted bow, which does not shoot the arrow as it is aimed. In

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).
