Commentary for Isaiah 60:8
מִי־אֵ֖לֶּה כָּעָ֣ב תְּעוּפֶ֑ינָה וְכַיּוֹנִ֖ים אֶל־אֲרֻבֹּתֵיהֶֽם׃
Who are these that fly as a cloud, And as the doves to their cotes?
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Who are these, etc. This question refers to the children (ver. 4). The words Arise, shine, etc. (ver. 1) are addressed by God to Zion.9It seems as if I. E. explained this chapter to be a dialogue between God and Zion. Ver. 1 to ver. 7 is assigned to God; ver. 8 contains a question asked by Zion, the verses which follow contain the answer of God. Otherwise the remark is here superfluous, or at least out of place. (Comp. ver. 14).
