Jesse was the father of King David, and the "stump" symbolizes the fallen state of David's royal line after the Babylonian exile. The imagery of a "shoot" suggests new life and growth, indicating the emergence of a new leader from David's line. This is a prophetic reference to the coming of the Messiah, who Christians believe is Jesus Christ. The use of "stump" implies that although the Davidic dynasty seemed to have been cut down, it was not destroyed, and God’s promise to David would still be fulfilled.<p><b>and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit</b><br>The "Branch" is a messianic title, often used in the Old Testament to refer to the coming Savior. This imagery is consistent with other prophetic writings, such as <a href="/jeremiah/23-5.htm">Jeremiah 23:5</a> and <a href="/zechariah/3-8.htm">Zechariah 3:8</a>, where the Messiah is described as a righteous Branch. The "roots" indicate the deep, enduring foundation of Jesse's line, suggesting that the Messiah will have a legitimate claim to David's throne. The phrase "will bear fruit" implies that the Messiah will bring about a time of prosperity, justice, and peace, fulfilling the promises made to David and establishing a kingdom that will have a lasting impact. This is seen as a type of Christ, who Christians believe fulfills these prophecies through His life, death, and resurrection, bringing spiritual renewal and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesse.htm">Jesse</a></b><br>The father of King David, representing the Davidic line from which the Messiah is prophesied to come.

This chapter is closely connected with the preceding. With the final destruction of Assyria, which, being cut down, sends out no shoot (<a href="/isaiah/10-33.htm">Isaiah 10:33, 34</a>), is contrasted the recuperative energy of Israel, which, though equally leveled with the ground (<a href="/isaiah/9-18.htm">Isaiah 9:18, 19</a>), shall spring afresh into life, and "renew its youth." The recovery is connected - or rather identified with the coming of Messiah, whose character is beautifully portrayed (vers. 2-5). An elaborate description of Messiah's kingdom follows (vers. 6-10) - an expansion of the briefer one in <a href="/isaiah/2-3.htm">Isaiah 2:3, 4</a>. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse</span>. The blasted and ruined "stem" or stock of Jesse, cut down, and for ages hidden from sight, shall suddenly put forth a sprout - a young green sapling, tender vet vigorous, weak seemingly, yet foil of life (comp. <a href="/job/14-7.htm">Job 14:7-9</a>, "There is hope of a tree, if it he cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not crease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant"). "The stem of Jesse" must mean the house of David, for there is but one Jesse (<span class="accented">Ishai</span>) in Scripture - David's father. <span class="cmt_word">A Branch shall grow out of his roots</span>. That which is at first a sapling gains strength and grows into a "branch" (see <a href="/isaiah/4-2.htm">Isaiah 4:2</a>, where the word used, though different, is synonymous). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/11-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">A shoot</span><br /><span class="heb">חֹ֖טֶר</span> <span class="translit">(ḥō·ṭer)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2415.htm">Strong's 2415: </a> </span><span class="str2">Branch or twig, a rod</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will spring up</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיָצָ֥א</span> <span class="translit">(wə·yā·ṣā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> </span><span class="str2">To go, bring, out, direct and proxim</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from the stump</span><br /><span class="heb">מִגֵּ֣זַע</span> <span class="translit">(mig·gê·za‘)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1503.htm">Strong's 1503: </a> </span><span class="str2">The trunk, stump of a, tree</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Jesse,</span><br /><span class="heb">יִשָׁ֑י</span> <span class="translit">(yi·šāy)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3448.htm">Strong's 3448: </a> </span><span class="str2">Jesse -- father of David</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and a branch</span><br /><span class="heb">וְנֵ֖צֶר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·nê·ṣer)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5342.htm">Strong's 5342: </a> </span><span class="str2">A sprout, shoot</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from his roots</span><br /><span class="heb">מִשָּׁרָשָׁ֥יו</span> <span class="translit">(miš·šā·rā·šāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8328.htm">Strong's 8328: </a> </span><span class="str2">A root</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will bear fruit.</span><br /><span class="heb">יִפְרֶֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(yip̄·reh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6509.htm">Strong's 6509: </a> </span><span class="str2">To bear fruit, be fruitful</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/isaiah/11-1.htm">Isaiah 11:1 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/isaiah/11-1.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 11:1 A shoot will come out (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/10-34.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 10:34"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 10:34" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/11-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 11:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 11:2" /></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>
