Isa 42:6, 49:8 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 6. A covenant of the people -"A covenant to the people"] For am , two MSS. of Dr. Kennicott's , and of my own, read olam , the covenant of the age to come , or the everlasting covenant; which seems to give a clearer and better sense. But I think the word berith , here, should not be translated covenant , but covenant sacrifice , which meaning it often has; and undoubtedly in this place. This gives a still stronger and clearer sense.
