21

In his name, the nations will hope.”

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 21. In his name the Gentiles. Here are two words differing from those used by the prophet: in the Hebrew text we have, in his law the islands shall hope: probably the oversight of the amanuensis substituting ονομα for νομω; the latter variation is of still less moment, as the prophets understand by islands, countries far removed; and also the poet,

Et penitus toto divisos orbe Britannos.

And, Mittam ad insulas longe ad eos, qui non audierunt de me. Isaias, 60:9, and 66:19.
