Isaiah 60:7 Summary
[Isaiah 60:7 is a prophecy that one day, people and animals from all over the world will come to worship God and bring Him offerings, just like the Magi did in Matthew 2:11. This verse is a beautiful picture of God's heart for all nations and peoples to come and worship Him, as seen in Revelation 7:9. The fact that the rams will go up on God's altar with acceptance shows that God will be pleased with these offerings, and it will be a time of great joy and celebration, much like the feasts described in Deuteronomy 12:7. As believers, we can learn from this verse that our worship and offerings should be pleasing and acceptable to God, and that we should strive to live lives that bring glory and honor to Him, as described in Romans 12:1.]

The glorious house refers to the temple in Jerusalem, which will be rebuilt and restored in the future, as prophesied in Ezekiel 40-48 and Haggai 2:7-9, and will be a place of worship and glory for God's people.

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 60:7

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 60:7
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 60:7
All the flocks of Kedar; the people whereof descended from Ishmael, and lived in Arabia Petrea, who were principally shepherds. The rams; q.d. nay, the chief of the flock, viz. for sacrifice; this Nebaioth being put for the people thereof, and sprang from Ishmael also, ; rich as the other were in flocks, and inhabiting the same country. As the Sabeans offered the proper commodities of their country, as gold and spice; so these of theirs, viz. cattle, showing that each country, and so each person, should bring that wherewith they did most excel. Of Nebaioth: this shows that Abraham’ s children according to the flesh should also be brought in to the gospel: compare . They shall come up with acceptance; being offered, they shall not now, as heretofore, be rejected; and hereby they shall be distinguished from the profane oblations of the Gentiles, i.e. in the name of Christ, who is the true and only gospel Altar. The house of my glory, i.e. the temple, or my house; glory being put here by a metonymy of the adjunct for God himself, who is glorious. God shall become glorious by the multitude of sacrifices that shall be offered and accepted here, . And it is a type how glorious his New Testament spiritual worship shall be; this altar pointing at Christ, out of whom nothing is accepted, and that his church should be glorious, being built of living stones, .
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 60:7
Isaiah 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.Ver. 7. All the flocks of Kedar,] i.e., The Kedarenes and Nebateans with their flocks, whereof they had abundance; and they now had hearts to "honour the Lord with their substance, and with the best of their increase." See Isaiah 23:17-18.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 60:7
(7) Kedar.—The nomad tribes (Isaiah 21:17) come as well as the trading ones. Nebaioth, mentioned with Kedar, in Genesis 25:13, among the descendants of Ishmael, expanded iii the centuries preceding the Christian era, into the kingdom of the Nabathœan Arabs, spreading from the Ælanitic Gulf to the Haurân. The two names together include what were known to the Roman geographers as Arabia Felix and Arabia Petræa. The primary thought is that the Temple of the new Jerusalem will be supplied with its sacrifices from the inexhaustible flocks of these regions.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 60:7
Verse 7. The rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee] Vitringa on the place understands their ministering, and ascending or going up on the altar, as offering themselves voluntarily: ipsi se, non expectato sacerdote alto, gloriae et sanctificationi divini nominis ultro ac libenter oblaturi. "They, waiting for no priest, go and freely offer themselves to the glory and sanctification of the sacred name." This gives a very elegant and poetical turn to the image. It was a general notion that prevailed with sacrificers among the heathen, that the victim's being brought without reluctance to the altar was a good omen; and the contrary a bad one. Sabinos petit aliquanto tristior; quod sacrificanti hostia aufugerat. Sueton. Titus, cap. x. Accessit dirum omen, profugus altaribus tauris. "It was an omen of dreadful portent when the victim fled away from the altar." Tacit. Hist. iii. 56. - L.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 60:7
7. Kedar (see on ch. Isaiah 21:16) … Nebajoth] Cf. Genesis 25:13 &c. The identification of the latter tribe with the Nabatæans of the classical writers is disputed by some eminent authorities, but it is at least a significant circumstance that “Nabataei et Cedrei” are bracketed together by Pliny, as Nabaitai and Kidrai are associated in Assyrian inscriptions (Schrader, Cuneiform Inscriptions, on Genesis 25:13 f.). The Nabatæans were as powerful in the last three centuries b.c. as the Midianites appear to have been in the days of Moses and the Judges (see on ch. 34 Introd. Note). shall minister unto thee] serve thee for sacrificial victims. The verb has a liturgical sense (see ch. Isaiah 56:6) and the somewhat peculiar expression is explained by the following clause. I will glorify &c.] my beautiful house I will beautify (Isaiah 60:13).
It is difficult to say whether these words imply that the Temple was already in existence.
