Isaiah60:7

7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebajoth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory .

The people whereof descended from Ishmael, and lived in Arabia Petrea, who were principally Shepherds

q. d. Nay the chief of the flock, viz. for Sacrifice, this Neb[illegible: 1+ letters]joth being put for the people thereof, and sprang from Ishmael also, Gen. 25. 13. Rich, as the other were in flocks▪ [illegible: 1 word] inhabiting the same Country, as the Sabeans offered the Proper Commodities of their Country, as gold, and spice, so these of theirs, viz. Cattle, shewing that each Country, and so each Person should bring that wherewith they did most excel.

This shews that Abraham's Children according to the flesh should also be brought in to the Gospel, comp. Mal▪ 1. 11.

Being offered▪ they shall not now, as heretofore, be rejected, and hereby they shall be distinguished from the profane oblations of the Gentiles. i. e. In the name of Christ, who is the true, and only Gospel Altar.

i. e. The Temple, or my house: Glory being put here by a Metonymy of the Adjunct for God himself, who is glorious: God shall become glorious by the multitude of Sacrifices, that shall be offered, and accepted here, Psa. 29. 9. and it is a type how glorious his New Testament Spiritual Worship shall be, this Altar pointing at Christ, out of whom nothing is accepted, and that his Church should be glorious being built of living stones, 1 Pet. 2. 5.
