Isaiah 56:2-8
2Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say,“The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.”And let the eunuch not say,“I am but a dry tree.”
4For this is what the LORD says:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,who choose what pleases Meand hold fast to My covenant—5I will give them, in My house and within My walls,a memorial and a namebetter than that of sons and daughters.I will give them an everlasting namethat will not be cut off.
6And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORDto minister to Him,to love the name of the LORD,and to be His servants—all who keep the Sabbath without profaning itand who hold fast to My covenant—7I will bring them to My holy mountainand make them joyful in My house of prayer.Their burnt offerings and sacrificeswill be accepted on My altar,for My house will be called a house of prayer1for all the nations.”
8Thus declares the Lord GOD,who gathers the dispersed of Israel:
“I will gather to them still othersbesides those already gathered.”
