Isaiah 2:5
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
BSB
ASV
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
KJV
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
O house of Jacob - This is a direct address, or exhortation, of the prophet to the Jews. It is made in view of the fact that God had gracious purposes toward them. He intended to distinguish them by making them the source of blessings to all nations. As this was to be their high destiny, he exhorts them to devote themselves to him, and to live to his honor. The word “house” here means the “family, or nation.” The phrase is applied to the Jews because their tribes were descended from the twelve sons of Jacob.
