Isaiah 62:5

The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 62:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride. There is a double employment of the analogy with marriage here. The land, Judaea, personified as a female, is married to her sons, or her people, regarded (in this connection) as a male.

The people, regarded as a female ("the virgin daughter of Zion," ) is also married to Jehovah, and recognizes him as her Bridegroom (Comp. ). As Bridegroom, God calls his bride "Hephzi-bah"—"my delight is in her."
