Isaiah 4:2
Verse 2. The branch of the Lord-"the branch of JEHOVAH"] The Messiah of JEHOVAH, says the Chaldee. And Kimchi says, The Messiah, the Son of David. The branch is an appropriate title of the Messiah; and the fruit of the land means the great Person to spring from the house of Judah, and is only a parallel expression signifying the same; or perhaps the blessings consequent upon the redemption procured by him. Compare Isa 45:8, where the same great event is set forth under similar images, and see the note there. Them that are escaped of Israel-"the escaped of the house of Israel."] A MS. has beith yisrael, the house of Israel.
