Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you;
Kedar was a region in the Arabian Peninsula, known for its nomadic tribes and pastoral lifestyle. The gathering of Kedar's flocks symbolizes the inclusion of Gentile nations in the worship of God, reflecting the universal scope of God's salvation plan. This imagery aligns with the prophecy of nations coming to the light of Israel (Isaiah 60:3).

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you
Nebaioth, like Kedar, was a descendant of Ishmael, representing the Arab tribes. The service of Nebaioth's rams suggests a voluntary submission and offering to God, indicating a future where former outsiders become part of God's people. This can be seen as a foreshadowing of the Gentiles' inclusion in the New Covenant (Ephesians 2:11-13).

and go up on My altar with acceptance;
The altar represents a place of sacrifice and worship. The acceptance of these offerings signifies God's approval and the breaking down of barriers between Jews and Gentiles. This acceptance is reminiscent of the New Testament teaching that in Christ, all believers are accepted by God (Romans 15:16).

I will adorn My glorious house.
The "glorious house" refers to the temple, symbolizing God's dwelling place among His people. The adornment of the temple with offerings from all nations points to the eschatological vision of a renewed creation where God's presence is fully realized. This is echoed inRevelation 21:22-26, where the glory of the nations is brought into the New Jerusalem.

Persons / Places / Events

1.Kedar
A nomadic tribe descended from Ishmael, known for their flocks and herds. They represent the Gentile nations coming to worship the God of Israel.

2.Nebaioth
Another tribe descended from Ishmael, often associated with Kedar. Their rams symbolize the wealth and offerings of the nations being brought to God.

3.My Altar
Refers to the altar in the temple of God, symbolizing worship and sacrifice that is pleasing to God.

4.My Glorious House
Represents the temple in Jerusalem, which is a symbol of God's presence and glory among His people.

Teaching Points

God's Inclusive Plan
Isaiah 60:7 highlights God's plan to include all nations in His redemptive work. The gathering of Kedar and Nebaioth signifies the inclusion of Gentiles in God's covenant community.

Worship and Sacrifice
The acceptance of offerings on God's altar emphasizes the importance of sincere worship. Our lives should be living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1).

The Glory of God's House
The adornment of God's house with the wealth of nations points to the ultimate glorification of the Church, the body of Christ, as a dwelling place for God's presence.

Fulfillment in Christ
Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the temple and sacrificial system. Through Him, all nations are invited to partake in the blessings of God's kingdom.

What Does Isaiah 60:7 Mean

All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you

• Kedar, a son of Ishmael (Genesis 25:13), came to represent the nomadic Arab tribes to Israel’s southeast. Here the Lord pictures these very real peoples turning toward Zion, not in hostility but in willing procession.

• Isaiah has already hinted at this reversal: “Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, the villages where Kedar dwells” (Isaiah 42:11). What once sounded remote and resistant now joins the worshiping throng.

• Jesus spoke of “other sheep… not of this fold” who would hear His voice (John 10:16). The prophetic scene anticipates that global ingathering—Jews and Gentiles unified under the Messiah, literally traveling to Jerusalem when He reigns (Zechariah 14:16–17).

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you

• Nebaioth, Ishmael’s firstborn (Genesis 25:13;1 Chronicles 1:29), occupied territory just north of Kedar. Rams from this region symbolize substantial wealth and status; they are prime animals for sacrifice (Leviticus 8:18).

• “Serve you” echoesPsalm 72:10–11, where kings from distant lands bring tribute to the Son of David. The humbled bringer and the honored recipient are both real: nations physically serve Jerusalem because the Lord is there.

• The picture is not forced subjugation but joyful allegiance, fulfilling the promise to Abraham that “all nations” would be blessed through his seed (Genesis 22:18).

and go up on My altar with acceptance

• Sacrifices in Isaiah are often rejected for hypocrisy (Isaiah 1:11–15). Here, however, the offerings are “accepted”—the Lord affirms their sincerity and compliance with His standards (compareIsaiah 56:7).

• The journey “up” points to the restored Temple Mount.Ezekiel 40–48 details that Millennial sanctuary where Gentile offerings will be welcomed.

• This acceptance springs from the atoning work of the Messiah, foreshadowed by every ram ever laid on an altar (John 1:29). Because He has provided perfect atonement, even former outsiders find their gifts pleasing to God.

I will adorn My glorious house

• God Himself beautifies the Temple, echoingHaggai 2:7: “The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory.” The radiant city ofRevelation 21:24–26 picks up the same thought—nations bring their splendor to the Lamb’s dwelling.

• The initiative is divine: “I will adorn.” Humanity contributes resources, but the glory belongs to the Lord alone (Psalm 115:1).

• While the verse points forward to a literal house in Jerusalem, believers experience a present foretaste. Paul calls the church “God’s temple” (1 Corinthians 3:16), already being adorned as living stones (1 Peter 2:5) until Christ’s return completes the work.

summary

Isaiah 60:7 presents a vivid, literal snapshot of Arab tribes once far from God now streaming to Jerusalem, bringing their flocks as willing tribute. Their sacrifices are welcomed because the Messiah has opened wide the door of grace. In turn, God decorates His Temple with their offerings, showcasing a future where every nation honors Him in unity and joy.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(7)Kedar.--The nomad tribes (Isaiah 21:17) come as well as the trading ones. Nebaioth, mentioned with Kedar, inGenesis 25:13, among the descendants of Ishmael, expanded iii the centuries preceding the Christian era, into the kingdom of the Nabath?an Arabs, spreading from the 'lanitic Gulf to the Hauran. The two names together include what were known to the Roman geographers as Arabia Felix and Arabia Petraea. The primary thought is that the Temple of the new Jerusalem will be supplied with its sacrifices from the inexhaustible flocks of these regions.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. -Kedar... Nebaioth. Arab tribes, like the Midianites and Sabaeans. (With respect to Kedar, see the comment on Isaiah 21:15.) "Nebaioth" stands for the tribe called by the Greeks and Romans the "Nabataeans," and by the Assyrians the "Nabaiti," who were one of the most powerful in the peninsula. AboutB.C. 645 Nathan, their king, warred with Asshur-bani-pal (Smith's' Hist. of Asshur-bani-pal,' pp. 256-298). During the Maccabee period we find the Nabataeans in alliance with the Jews, and giving them some valuable assistance (1 Macc. 5:25 1 Macc. 9:35). The locality of the Nabataeans was northern Arabia, or the tract lying between the Elanitic Gulf and the Lower Euphrates. The wealth of the Nabataeans and the Kedarenes was in their flocks and herds; and this wealth, it is prophesied, they will place, at the disposal of Israel. Mine altar... the house of my glory. The renovated Zion contains a glorious temple, and the temple has in it an altar, to which the sheep and rams are brought - not, however, to be offered in sacrifice, but to be presented to God and become a part of the wealth of the Church.
