Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

Which I did swear - נשאתי את ידי nasathi eth yadi, I have lifted up my hand. The usual mode of making an appeal to God, and hence considered to be a form of swearing. It is thus that Isa 62:8 is to be understood: The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength.

This site's exposition

I will bring you in unto the land

Adam Clarke notes that the Hebrew behind I did swear reads I have lifted up my hand, the gesture that stands for an oath, as at Isaiah 62:8. The paragraph opened at verse 6 with I am the Lord and closes here with the same three words, so the promises are bracketed by the name verse 3 had raised. Almost none of the adults hearing this are brought in, which Numbers 14:29 and 14:30 record.

I will bring you into the land of Canaan, and I will give it to you. Let man take the shame of his unbelief, which needs such repetitions; and let God have the glory of his condescending grace, which gives us such repeated assurances for our satisfaction.
