The "tenth" can be seen as a tithe, symbolizing a small, faithful group that remains after divine judgment. This remnant theme is echoed in passages like <a href="/amos/5-3.htm">Amos 5:3</a> and <a href="/zechariah/13-8.htm">Zechariah 13:8-9</a>, where a fraction of the population survives to continue God's covenant. Historically, this reflects the survival of a faithful group during the Babylonian exile, maintaining the continuity of Israel's identity and faith.it will be burned again The imagery of burning indicates further purification and judgment. Fire is often used in the Bible as a symbol of purification and judgment (<a href="/malachi/3-2.htm">Malachi 3:2-3</a>, <a href="/1_corinthians/3-13.htm">1 Corinthians 3:13</a>). This suggests that even the remnant will undergo further trials to refine and purify them. Historically, this can be linked to the repeated invasions and hardships faced by Israel, which served to purify and strengthen the faith of the people.As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled The terebinth and oak are strong, resilient trees common in the region, symbolizing endurance and longevity. When these trees are cut down, their stumps remain, suggesting that life can spring forth again. This imagery is used to convey hope and the potential for renewal. In biblical symbolism, trees often represent nations or people (<a href="/daniel/4-10.htm">Daniel 4:10-12</a>), and the stump signifies the enduring promise of God's covenant with Israel.so the holy seed will be a stump in the land The "holy seed" refers to the faithful remnant that will survive and eventually lead to the restoration of Israel. This concept is prophetic, pointing to the future coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "seed" (<a href="/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a>, <a href="/galatians/3-16.htm">Galatians 3:16</a>). The stump symbolizes the continuity of God's promise and the eventual flourishing of His people.

What the prophet is led to expect is a series of successive chastisements sifting the people, till the remnant of the chosen ones alone is left. (Comp. the same thought under a different imagery in <a href="/ezekiel/5-12.htm" title="A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the middle of you: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about you; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.">Ezekiel 5:12</a> : <a href="/context/zechariah/13-8.htm" title="And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, said the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.">Zechariah 13:8-9</a>.) The "tenth" is taken, as in <a href="/leviticus/27-30.htm" title="And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy to the LORD.">Leviticus 27:30</a>, for an ideally consecrated portion.As a teil tree.--Better, terebinth; and for "when they cast their leaves" read, when they are cut down. The "teil tree" of the Authorised Version is probably meant for the "lime" (tilier, tilleul). The thought of this verse is that embodied in the name of his son Shear-jashub (see Note on <a href="/isaiah/7-3.htm" title="Then said the LORD to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;">Isaiah 7:3</a>), and constantly reappears (<a href="/isaiah/1-27.htm" title="Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.">Isaiah 1:27</a>; <a href="/context/isaiah/4-2.htm" title="In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.">Isaiah 4:2-3</a>; <a href="/isaiah/10-20.htm" title="And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay on him that smote them; but shall stay on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.">Isaiah 10:20</a>; <a href="/isaiah/29-17.htm" title="Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?">Isaiah 29:17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/30-15.htm" title="For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.">Isaiah 30:15</a>, &c). The tree might be stripped of its leaves, and its branches lopped off, and nothing but the stump left; but from that seemingly dead and decayed stock, pruned by the chastisements of God (<a href="/john/15-2.htm" title="Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.">John 15:2</a>), a young shoot should spring, holy, as consecrated to Jehovah, and carry on the continuity of the nation's life. The same thought is dominant in St. Paul's hope for his people. At first the "remnant," and then "all Israel," should be saved (<a href="/romans/11-5.htm" title="Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.">Romans 11:5</a>; <a href="/romans/11-26.htm" title="And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:">Romans 11:26</a>).
