Isaiah56:5
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house , and within my walls , a place and a name better than of sons and daughters : I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
In my Temple, to serve me there as Priests, which Eunuchs were not allowed to do, Lev. 21. 17, &c. Deut. 23. 1.
In the Courts of my Temple, which were encompassed with Walls. This seems to be added with respect to the People who were admitted into the Court, but not into the House it self.
A far greater Blessing and Honour than that of having posterity, which was but a temporal Mercy, and that common to the worst of men, even my Favour, and my Spirit, and eternal Felicity.
