From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root -This language is derived from the vine, as the shoots or cuttings of the vine take root and flourish. To take root, therefore, is an emblem denoting that the descendants of Jacob, or the people of God, would increase and prosper. Shall blossom and bud -An image also taken from the vine, or from fruit trees in general, and meaning that they should greatly flourish in the time succeeding their return from the captivity. And fill the face of the world with fruit -On the meaning of the word ‘face,’ see the note atIsaiah 25:7.
