Guiding Questions: Isaiah 61

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Who has been sent (Isaiah 61:1) to offer consolation and the binding of wounds?
  2. What does the word “dror” represent?
  3. Isaiah 61:4 predicts the “rebuilding” — of what cities and in what country?
  4. How does Isaiah 61:5 reflect the predictions that appeared in Isaiah 60?
  5. What is meant (Isaiah 61:6) by “the Kohanim of God” and “the Servants of our God” and who will so term Israel?
  6. What attribute of Divinity (once again) is stressed in Isaiah 61:8?
  7. And, in Isaiah 61:8, what is the “eternal covenant” that is promised?
  8. How does Isaiah 61:9 reflect the promise made to Abraham in Genesis?
  9. In Isaiah 61:10, who is the “speaker”?
  10. Aside from the proliferation of natural abundance, what will “spring forth” as characteristic of the returned people?
