This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
see THE LORD = appear before Jah. Reference to Pentateuch. See note on Isa_1:12; and on "appear" (Exo_23:15; Exo_34:20).
in the land of the living. This expression occurs three times with the Art. ("the living") in the Hebrew (viz. here; Job_28:13; and Psa_142:5). Without the Art. it occurs eight times. See note on Eze_26:20.
the living: i.e. alive on the earth. Not Sheol, which is the place of the dead.
the world. Hebrew. hadel = a quiet land: i.e. when this invasion shall be ended. Some codices read heled (transposing the l and d) = the transitory world: hadel occurs only here.
