Isaiah 61:1-3 in a New Light, with the Hebrew meanings revealed.
Isaiah 61:1. The Spirit of Adonai, the LORD*, is upon Me, because the LORD* has anointed me to preach Good News to the humble. (Matt. 5:3) He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of eyes (Isa. 42:7) for those who are bound, 2. to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD*, (Luke 4:18-20) and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, (Matt. 5:4) 3. to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment, prayer shawl, of praise instead of the spirit of infirmity, so they could be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD*, so He would be glorified. See Isaiah 61 in Myths.
