Verse 1
- There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
- And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.[5]
Cross reference: Isaiah 11:10
- "Rod" (חטר choṭı̂r; also in Proverbs 14:3: or "branch" (צמח tsemach) in Isaiah 4:2 (a twig, a shoot); these words "are messianic terms."[6]
- Jesse: the father of king David (1 Samuel 16:1–20).[7]
- "Branch" - (נצר nêtser). A twig, branch, sprout or shoot; a word of "messianic terms."[6] The word occurs four times in the Hebrew Bible including this verse; the other three are Isaiah 60:21 : 'They shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting;' Isaiah 14:19 : 'But thou art cast out of thy grave as an abominable branch;' Daniel 11:7: 'But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate.'
Verse 3
- His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord, (English Standard Version), or
- Of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord (King James Version).
Anglican bishop Robert Lowth translates as "He shall be of quick discernment in the fear of JEHOVAH".[8] According to Andrew Fausset, the literal meaning is "quick-scented in the fear of Jehovah".[9]
Verse 6
- “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
- The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
- The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
- And a little child shall lead them.[10]
Verse 10
- “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
- Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
- For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
- And His resting place shall be glorious.”[11]
