The imagery of God "coming out of His dwelling" suggests a divine visitation, reminiscent of the theophanies in the Old Testament where God manifests His presence. This can be connected to passages like <a href="/exodus/19-11.htm">Exodus 19:11</a>, where God descends on Mount Sinai. It underscores God's transcendence and immanence, highlighting His role as both the Creator and Judge. Theologically, it points to the eschatological expectation of God's ultimate intervention in history.to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. This phrase speaks to the theme of divine justice. The "inhabitants of the earth" refers to humanity at large, emphasizing the universal scope of God's judgment. The term "iniquity" denotes moral corruption and sin, aligning with the biblical understanding of sin as rebellion against God's law. This connects to <a href="/romans/1-18.htm">Romans 1:18</a>, where God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness. The punishment is not arbitrary but a response to human sinfulness, reflecting God's holiness and righteousness.The earth will reveal her bloodshed Here, the earth is personified, suggesting that creation itself bears witness to human sin. This echoes <a href="/genesis/4-10.htm">Genesis 4:10</a>, where Abel's blood cries out from the ground, indicating that injustice and violence cannot be hidden from God. The imagery implies that the earth, often seen as a silent witness, will testify against the wickedness of humanity. It highlights the biblical theme of creation groaning under the weight of sin, as seen in <a href="/romans/8-22.htm">Romans 8:22</a>.and will no longer conceal her slain. This phrase indicates a time of reckoning when hidden sins are exposed. The idea of the earth no longer concealing the slain suggests that divine justice will bring to light all acts of violence and murder. It aligns with the prophetic theme of truth being revealed, as seen in <a href="/luke/12-2.htm">Luke 12:2</a>, where Jesus states that nothing concealed will not be disclosed.

The prophet has in his thoughts the reckless destruction of life which characterised the great world-powers of Assyria and Babylon. As in the case of Abel's blood that cried from the ground (<a href="/genesis/4-16.htm" title="And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelled in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.">Genesis 4:16</a>), so here the earth first brings to light the blood of those that have been slain, and then the forms of the murdered ones themselves.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 21. - The Lord cometh out of his place (comp. <a href="/micah/1-3.htm">Micah 1:3</a>). In the Psalms God is represented as "bowing the heavens and coming down," bringing them, as it were, with him. Here (and in Micah) he quits his place in heaven, as a king quits his own country when he proceeds to take vengeance on rebels in another. The expressions are, both of them, accommodations to human modes of thought. To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; literally, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him. The earth also shall disclose her blood; literally, her bloods; i.e. her bloodsheddings; the many murders committed by man upon her surface. Isaiah denounced "murderers" in his first chapter (ver. 27). Manasseh's murders were the main cause of the first destruction of Jerusalem (<a href="/2_kings/24-4.htm">2 Kings 24:4</a>). The second destruction was equally a judgment for the innocent blood that had been shed upon the earth, "from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Bars-chins" (<a href="/matthew/23-35.htm">Matthew 23:35</a>). Bloodshed "cries to God for vengeance" (<a href="/genesis/4-10.htm">Genesis 4:10</a>), and will be one of the main causes of the world's final destruction (<a href="/revelation/16-6.htm">Revelation 16:6</a>; <a href="/revelation/18-20.htm">Revelation 18:20</a>). And shall no more cover her slain. "There is nothing covered that shall not" in the last day "be revealed, and hid that shall not be known" (<a href="/matthew/10-26.htm">Matthew 10:26</a>). Every murder, however secret, will be brought to light, and every murderer, however unsuspected previously, denounced and punished. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/26-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>For כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction behold, הִנֵּ֤ה (hin·nêh) Interjection <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> Lo! behold! the LORD יְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel is coming יֹצֵ֣א (yō·ṣê) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim out of His dwelling מִמְּקוֹמ֔וֹ (mim·mə·qō·w·mōw) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4725.htm">Strong's 4725: </a> A standing, a spot, a condition to punish לִפְקֹ֛ד (lip̄·qōḏ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6485.htm">Strong's 6485: </a> To visit, to oversee, muster, charge, care for, miss, deposit the inhabitants יֹֽשֵׁב־ (yō·šêḇ-) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3427.htm">Strong's 3427: </a> To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry of the earth הָאָ֖רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land for their iniquity. עֲוֺ֥ן (‘ă·wōn) Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5771.htm">Strong's 5771: </a> Iniquity, guilt, punishment for iniquity The earth הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land will reveal וְגִלְּתָ֤ה (wə·ḡil·lə·ṯāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1540.htm">Strong's 1540: </a> To denude, to exile, to reveal her bloodshed דָּמֶ֔יהָ (dā·me·hā) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1818.htm">Strong's 1818: </a> Blood, of man, an animal, the juice of the grape, bloodshed and no וְלֹֽא־ (wə·lō-) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no longer ע֖וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more conceal תְכַסֶּ֥ה (ṯə·ḵas·seh) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3680.htm">Strong's 3680: </a> To plump, fill up hollows, to cover her slain. הֲרוּגֶֽיהָ׃ (hă·rū·ḡe·hā) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine plural construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2026.htm">Strong's 2026: </a> To smite with deadly intent <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/26-21.htm">Isaiah 26:21 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/26-21.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 26:21 For behold Yahweh comes forth out (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/26-20.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 26:20"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 26:20" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/27-1.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 27:1"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 27:1" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
