Isaiah 35:1

"Isaiah."

Key Reflection

The phrase "Isaiah" at the beginning of Isaiah 35:1 indicates that these verses continue the prophecy attributed to Isaiah, promising restoration and healing for Israel. This context sets the stage for a powerful vision of divine intervention and renewal, which would have been encouraging to the exiled and suffering people of Judah.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The wilderness and the solitary place -This is evidently figurative language, such as is often employed by the prophets. The word rendered ‘solitary place’ (ציהtsı̂yâh), denotes properly a dry place, a place without springs and streams of water; and as such places produce no verdure, and nothing to sustain life, the word comes to mean a desert. Such expressions are often used in the Scriptures to express moral or spiritual desolation; and in this sense evidently the phrase is used here.
