Isaiah 60:5

“Then thou shalt see, and flow together, &c.] That is, when thou seest thy sons and daughters flocking to thee from all parts, there will be a flow of joy in thee, like the stream of a river; or thine heart will beat and flutter within thee, through surprise and joy, when thou seest such a numerous company gathered unto thee. Some render it, “then thou shall fear”, as Aben Ezraf1182, or be surprised at the sight; and others the next clause, “thou shall be enlightened”f1183; that is, shall see, being enlightened, and shall increase in light and knowledge more and more; or “shine”f1184, in great splendour and glory: and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; shall fear the Lord and his…”

“see-- (Isa 60:4), namely, the bringing back of thy sons. flow together--rather, "overflow with joy" [LOWTH]; or, from a different Hebrew root, "be bright with joy" [GESENIUS] (Job 3:4). fear--rather, beat with the agitation of solemn joy at the marvellous sight [HORSLEY] (Jer 33:9). be enlarged--swell with delight. Grief, on the contrary, contracts the heart. abundance of . . . sea--the wealth of the lands beyond the sea, as in Solomon's time, the type of the coming reign of the Prince of peace. converted--rather, "be turned," instead of being turned to purposes of sin and idolatry. forces--rather, "riches."”

“Then shalt thou see - Lowth renders this, ‘Then shalt thou fear and overflow with joy;’ and supposes that it refers to the agitation and anxiety of mind attending the scene, and to the joy consequent on the numerous conversions. His authority for this change is, that forty manuscripts (two of them ancient) have תיראי, ‘thou shalt fear,’ instead of תראי tı̂re'ı̂y, ‘thou shalt see.’ But though the change is of a single letter, there is not sufficient authority to make it, nor does the sense require it. The Vulgate, Septuagint, Chaldee, Syiac, Arabic, and Castellio, all render it in accordance with the present reading of the Hebrew text. The idea is, that Jerusalem would look with deep interest…”

“See - With delight the multitudes of thy children running to thee. Flow - They shall flock together to behold such an amazing sight. Fear - Or stand amazed. Enlarged - Both with joy, and love. The abundance - The islands of the sea, the nations, shall turn to thee in religion, and affection. The forces - Or wealth. Isaiah 60:6”

“60:5-7 Zion’s losses from warfare will be restored by the wealth of many lands; foreign nations will be eager to make a contribution (60:11; 61:6; 66:12; see Rev 21:26).”

“thou shalt see: Jer 33:9; Hos 1:10, Hos 1:11, Hos 3:5; Act 10:45, Act 11:17 be enlarged: Isa 54:2; Sa1 2:1; Co2 6:1-13, Co2 10:15; Rev 21:26 abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee: or, noise of the sea shall be turned towards thee, Isa 24:14, Isa 24:15; Psa 96:7-9, Psa 98:7-9; Rom 11:25 forces: or, wealth, Isa 60:11, Isa 23:18, Isa 61:6; Act 24:17; Rom 15:26 Isaiah 60:6”

“When this takes place, Zion will be seized with the greatest delight, mingled with some trembling. "Then wilt thou see and shine, and thine heart will tremble and expand; for the abundance of the sea will be turned to thee, the wealth of the nations cometh to thee." It is a disputed question whether the proper reading is תּראי, תּראי, or תּיראי - all three point to יר) - or תּראי, from ראה. The last is favoured by the lxx, Targ., Syr., Jerome, Saad., and all the earlier Jewish commentators except AE, and is also the Masoretic reading; for the Masora finalis (f. 1, col. 6) observes that this רתאי is the only instance of such a form from ראה (differing therefore from תיראי in Zep 3:15, where…”
