This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
children ... after ... other - rather, “the children of thy widowhood,” that is, the children of whom thou hast been bereft during their dispersion in other lands (see on Isa 47:8) [Maurer].
again - rather, “yet.”
give place - rather, “stand close to me,” namely, in order that we may be the more able to dwell in the narrow place [Horsley]. Compare as to Israel’s spiritual children, and the extension of the gospel sphere, Rom 15:19, Rom 15:24; 2Co 10:14-16. But Isa 49:22 (compare Isa 66:20) shows that her literal children are primarily meant. Gesenius translates, “Make room.”
