Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 61:7

7. For your shame ye shall have double ; and for confusion they shall rejoyce in their portion : therefore in their Land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

See on Chap. 40. 2. Supple honour; though you have been little accompted of among your Enemies, yet now you shall be greatly in their esteem, Zech. 9. 12. you shall have double damages.

viz. of honour, that God will give them, the same thing with the former; or, in their Inheritance, which God shall restore to them; and that either, 1. For worth and value through God's blessing upon it: Or 2. For room and space, and that possibly by reason of the few that will return to inhabit there, viz. onely a tenth part, Chap. 6. 13. Or, that which he shall give them out of their Enemies Land.

Or rather, Because, being rendred as a reason of their rejoycing, because of the doubling of their portion, in which sense it is taken, Chap. 16. 14.

Of long continuance here, and everlasting hereafter; or, to be perpetually remembred on their Anniversary Festivals; though this had its accomplishment in their return from Babylon, yet was it most signally made good in that great change for the better, which they should find in the Gospel-state in the enlargement of Christ's Kingdom, and encrease of his People, with whom they should ever rejoyce together.
