They are not to plunder or carry off spoil that would render them unclean. They are to bring only "the vessels of Jehovah," i.e., the gold and silver which had been taken from His temple, and which Cyrus restored by them (<a href="/ezra/1-7.htm" title="Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;">Ezra 1:7</a>). In this case the bearers are the Levites. Commonly, however, the phrase is used of "armour-bearers," and this meaning is given to it by many commentators, as pointing to the whole body of the people as filling that function for the great king (<a href="/context/1_kings/14-27.htm" title="And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.">1Kings 14:27-28</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/52.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 11. - Go ye out from thence; i.e. "from Babylon" - the standpoint of the prophet in the present chapter being Jerusalem. When the time came, earnest exhortations to depart would be found not superfluous, for there would be an indisposition on the part of some to quit their possessions, and of others to affront the perils of the way. Touch no unclean thing. Bring with you none of the Babylonian idols, none of the Babylonian charms, spells, and the like (see the comment on Isaiah 47:9). Be ye clean; rather, purify yourselves. The departing captives generally are called upon to avoid polluting themselves with the unclean things of Babylon; but for those who bear the vessels of the Lord this negative purity is insufficient. They are for-really to purify themselves (<a href="/2_chronicles/29-34.htm">2 Chronicles 29:34</a>) before undertaking their sacred office.
