Commentaries on Isaiah 11:12
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12And he shall set up an ensign - See Isaiah 11:10. The Messiah shall stand in view of the nations, as a standard is erected by a military leader.

And shall assemble - This word, אסף 'âsaph properly means, to gather, collect, to assemble…Read the comment

To Israel are ascribed the "outcasts" (masculine); to Judah the "dispersed" (feminine), as the former have been longer and more utterly castaways (though not finally) than the latter (Joh 7:52). The masculine and feminine conjoined express the universality of the…Read the comment
