Halakhah sur Isaïe 2:2

The great vision of the people of Israel in God's land is that the land will be settled by the people of Israel, and the Temple will stand on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and all of national life will be arranged and conducted according to the ways of Torah, ethical instruction, and holiness. Israel will be a light unto the nations, that they will come to visit to land and receive inspiration for the improvement of the nations and the world. According to the Prophet Isaiah (2:2-4) "In the days to come, The Mount of the LORD’s House Shall stand firm above the mountains And tower above the hills; And all the nations Shall gaze on it with joy. 3And the many peoples shall go and say: “Come, Let us go up to the Mount of the LORD, To the House of the God of Jacob; That He may instruct us in His ways, And that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Zion, The word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4Thus He will judge among the nations And arbitrate for the many peoples, And they shall beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not take up Sword against nation; They shall never again know war."

The prophet Isaiah testifies that in the end of days there will be a pervasive thirst for the word of God and, ultimately, non-Jews will turn to Jews in their quest to become familiar with the Law of God: "And it shall come to pass in the end of days … And many nations shall come and say, 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob and He will teach us His ways (derakhav) and we will walk in His paths (orḥotav)' " (Isaiah 2:2-3). Malbim, in his commentary on this passage, notes that elsewhere the Hebrew term "derakhav," translated as "His ways," denotes major roads or highways while the term "orḥotav," translated as "His paths," refers to secondary roads. Thus, according to Malbim, Isaiah speaks of an obligation incumbent upon Jews to teach all nations the "roots and principles" of Judaism and prophesies that, in the end of days, these nations will seek even greater edification and will, of their own accord, seek to discover even the byways and footpaths, i.e., the details and minutiae, of the Torah.
