Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - The Lord God; rather, the Lord Jehovah - Adonai Jehovah. An unusual phrase. Which gathereth together the outcasts of Israel; i.e. the Lord who has pledged himself to bring back Israel from captivity, and to gather together Israel's outcasts from all regions (Isaiah 11:11; Isaiah 27:12, 13; Isaiah 43:5, 6, etc.). This same Lord now promises something further: "He will gather others also to Israel, besides his own gathered ones." Introduced with such emphasis and formality, this was probably, when delivered, a new revelation. In the present arrangement of the prophecies, however, it announces no novelty. The addition of Gentile members to the Israelite community has been declared frequently (see Isaiah 44:5; Isaiah 55:5, etc.). Section V. A WARNING TO THE WICKED (ISAIH 56:9-57.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) The Lord God . . . saith.--The phrase is the normal one for introducing an oracle of special importance. This, so to speak, was to be one of the "faithful sayings" of Isaiah. We can hardly fail to find in John 10:16 a deliberate reproduction of Isaiah's thought. The first clause refers clearly to the gathering of the heathen as following on that of the "outcasts" of Israel.
