The "double portion" signifies abundant blessing and restoration, reminiscent of the inheritance rights of the firstborn son in ancient Israel (<a href="/deuteronomy/21-17.htm">Deuteronomy 21:17</a>). This promise of restoration is a theme throughout Isaiah, where God assures His people of redemption and honor (<a href="/isaiah/54-4.htm">Isaiah 54:4</a>). The concept of a double portion also connects to the Year of Jubilee, a time of liberation and restoration (Leviticus 25).and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share The humiliation experienced by the Israelites was a result of their captivity and the destruction of their homeland. This promise of rejoicing indicates a complete transformation from sorrow to joy, aligning with the prophetic vision of a future where God’s people are restored and exalted (<a href="/isaiah/35-10.htm">Isaiah 35:10</a>). The "share" refers to their rightful inheritance in the Promised Land, symbolizing God's faithfulness to His covenant.and so they will inherit a double portion in their land The inheritance of a "double portion" in their land underscores the restoration of Israel to its former glory and prosperity. This promise is rooted in the Abrahamic Covenant, where God promised the land to Abraham's descendants (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The land is not just a physical territory but a symbol of God's enduring promise and presence with His people. This inheritance is a foretaste of the ultimate fulfillment in the Messianic Kingdom.and everlasting joy will be theirs Everlasting joy signifies the eternal nature of the blessings God promises to His people. This joy is not temporary but enduring, reflecting the ultimate redemption and peace found in the Messianic age. The concept of everlasting joy is echoed in other prophetic writings, such as <a href="/isaiah/35-10.htm">Isaiah 35:10</a> and <a href="/isaiah/65-18.htm">Isaiah 65:18-19</a>, where the future kingdom is depicted as a time of unending happiness and divine fellowship. This joy is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who brings eternal life and joy to believers (<a href="/john/15-11.htm">John 15:11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is traditionally credited with writing the Book of Isaiah.

Instead of the shame and confusion of face which were the portion of Israel during the Captivity (see <a href="/isaiah/51-7.htm">Isaiah 51:7, 23</a>; <a href="/isaiah/54-4.htm">Isaiah 54:4</a>; <a href="/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7, 8</a>, etc.), they should after their restoration to Palestine "have double" their former glory and double their former territory. An increase of territory had been already prophesied (<a href="/isaiah/49-18.htm">Isaiah 49:18-21</a>) - an increase which, however, was not so much an extension of the bounds of Palestine as a spread of the Church over the whole earth (comp. <a href="/zechariah/9-12.htm">Zechariah 9:12</a>). For confusion; rather, as for disgrace. So far from feeling disgraced, they will rejoice, or exult, in their portion; i.e. in the territory assigned them. It will be ample; and their life in it will be one of everlasting joy. The speaker passes on in his thought to the time of the "new heavens and the new earth," which he regards as continuous with that of Israel's return. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/61-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Instead תַּ֤חַת (ta·ḥaṯ) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8478.htm">Strong's 8478: </a> The bottom, below, in lieu of of shame, בָּשְׁתְּכֶם֙ (bā·šə·tə·ḵem) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1322.htm">Strong's 1322: </a> Shame, shameful thing [My people will have a] double portion, מִשְׁנֶ֔ה (miš·neh) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4932.htm">Strong's 4932: </a> A repetition, a duplicate, a double, a second and [instead of] humiliation, וּכְלִמָּ֖ה (ū·ḵə·lim·māh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3639.htm">Strong's 3639: </a> Insult, reproach, ignominy they will rejoice יָרֹ֣נּוּ (yā·rōn·nū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7442.htm">Strong's 7442: </a> To give a ringing cry in their share; חֶלְקָ֑ם (ḥel·qām) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2506.htm">Strong's 2506: </a> Portion, tract, territory and so לָכֵ֤ן (lā·ḵên) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3651.htm">Strong's 3651: </a> So -- thus they will inherit יִירָ֔שׁוּ (yî·rā·šū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3423.htm">Strong's 3423: </a> To occupy, to seize, to rob, to inherit, to expel, to impoverish, to ruin a double portion מִשְׁנֶ֣ה (miš·neh) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4932.htm">Strong's 4932: </a> A repetition, a duplicate, a double, a second in their land, בְּאַרְצָם֙ (bə·’ar·ṣām) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land and everlasting עוֹלָ֖ם (‘ō·w·lām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5769.htm">Strong's 5769: </a> Concealed, eternity, frequentatively, always joy שִׂמְחַ֥ת (śim·ḥaṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8057.htm">Strong's 8057: </a> Blithesomeness, glee will be תִּֽהְיֶ֥ה (tih·yeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be theirs. לָהֶֽם׃ (lā·hem) Preposition | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/61-7.htm">Isaiah 61:7 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/61-7.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 61:7 Instead of your shame you shall have (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/61-6.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 61:6"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 61:6" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/61-8.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 61:8"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 61:8" /></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>
