The LORD’s word about the eunuchs and the foreigners, and “a house of prayer for all peoples”
고자와 이방인을 두고 하신 여호와의 말씀과 만민의 기도하는 집
Isaiah 56:1–8: the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” The text goes on, “Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, ‘The LORD will surely separate me from his people.’ Do not let the eunuch say, ‘Behold, I am a dry tree.’” The LORD says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant, I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off. Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to serve him, and to love the LORD’s name, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant, I will bring these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “I will yet gather others to him, in addition to his own who are gathered.” The Korean Revised Version closes the LORD’s words within 56:1 (나타날 것임이라 하셨은즉) and gives 56:2 after them as the text’s, with the keeping of the Sabbath before the blessing (안식일을 지켜 더럽히지 아니하며 그 손을 금하여 모든 악을 행치 아니하여야 하나니 이같이 행하는 사람, 이같이 굳이 잡는 인생은 복이 있느니라); it closes 56:8 with 하셨느니라. At 56:5 it reads 자녀보다 나은 기념물과 이름, a memorial and a name better than children, where WEB reads “a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters”, and 내 성안에서, where WEB reads “within my walls”; and at 56:6 it has the LORD speak in the first person (나 여호와에게 연합하여 섬기며 나 여호와의 이름을 사랑하며 나의 종이 되며), where WEB reads “who join themselves to the LORD to serve him, and to love the LORD’s name, to be his servants”.

1The LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
2Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, “The LORD will surely separate me from his people.” Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4For the LORD says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,
5I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
6Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to serve him, and to love the LORD’s name, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant,
7I will bring these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
