Isa 11:10-12 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 10. A root of Jesse, which shall stand &c. -"The root of Jesse, which standeth," &c.] St. John hath taken this expression from Isaiah, , and , where Christ hath twice applied it to himself. Seven MSS. have omed, standing , the present participle. Radix Isaei dicitur jam stare, et aliquantum stetisse, in signum populorum.-VITRINGA. "The root of Jesse is said to stand , and for some time to have stood , for an ensign to the people." Which rightly explains either of the two readings. The one hundred and tenth psalm is a good comment on this verse. See the notes there.
