Context of Isaiah 52:11

9Be cheerful, shout joyfully together, You ruins of Jerusalem; For the Lord has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. 10The Lord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, So that all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there, Do not touch what is unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels of the Lord. 12But you will not go out in a hurry, Nor will you go as fugitives; For the Lord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard. 13Behold, My Servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

Commentaries on Isaiah 52:11

It is here addressed by the prophet in a way of encouragement and exhortation to the Jews coming out of Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar had carried them to Babylon (2Ch 36:18). Cyrus restored them (Ezr 1:7-11). be ... clean--by separating yourselves wholly from Babylonian idolaters, mystical and literal.Read the comment
