The Key Word — זָרִ֔ים, za.Rimgenerated
The Hebrew word זָר (zar) means 'stranger' or 'foreigner'. It can refer to someone who is not part of the community, often highlighting their otherness. The parsing indicates it is an adjective, describing those who will serve Israel in the future.
This word carries connotations of estrangement and can also imply a moral or social distance. In this context, it emphasizes that those who are not part of Israel will take on roles of service and care, suggesting a significant shift in the social order.

Where translations differ is in the rendering of זָרִ֔ים — see How Translations Differ.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb וְעָמְד֣וּ (and they will stand) governs the whole verse, with two main clauses following it: one describing the strangers and their actions, and the other detailing the foreigners and their roles.
The structure emphasizes the actions of the strangers and foreigners, indicating their service to Israel in a future context of restoration.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

This rendering indicates an interpretation that emphasizes the inclusion of diverse peoples in the service of God’s chosen.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Isaiah 61:5 tells us that in the future, strangers will stand and care for the flocks of Israel, while foreigners will work as farmers and vinedressers. This reflects a time of restoration for God's people, where even those from outside will play a vital role in their prosperity.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

shep'-erd (ro`eh, ro`i; poimen, "a feeder"): The sheep owner frequently tends the flocks himself (Ge 4:4; 30:40; compare Eze 34:12), but more often he delegates the work to his children (Ge 29:9; 1Sa 16:19; 17:15) or relatives (Ge 31:6). In such cases the sheep have good care because the keepers have a personal interest in the well-being of the animals, but when they are attended by a hireling (1Sa 17:20) the flocks may be neglected or abused (Isa 56:10,11; Eze…
Shepherd
A word naturally of frequent occurence in Scripture. Sometimes the word “pastor” is used instead (Jer. 2:8; 3:15; 10:21; 12:10; 17:16). This word is used figuratively to represent the relation of rulers to their subjects and of God to his people (Ps. 23:1; 80:1; Isa. 40:11; 44:28; Jer. 25:34, 35; Nahum 3:18; John 10:11, 14; Heb. 13:20; 1 Pet. 2:25; 5:4).
In a nomadic state of society every man, from the sheikh down to the slave, is more or less a shepherd. The progenitors of the Jews in the patriarchal age were nomads, and their history is rich in scenes of pastoral life. The occupation of tending the flocks was undertaken,not only by the sons of wealthy chiefs, (Genesis 30:29) ff.; Genesis37:12 ff., but even by their daughters. (Genesis 29:6,8; Exodus 2:10) The Egyptian captivity did march to implant a love of settled abode, and consequently we find the tribes which still retained a taste for shepherd life selecting their own quarters apart from their brethren in the transjordanic district.

Abel was a keeper of sheep, Ge 4:2, as were the greater number of the ancient patriarchs. When men began to multiply, and to follow different employments, Jabal son of Lamech was acknowledged as father, that is, founder of shepherd and nomads, Ge 4:20. A large part of the wealth of ancient patriarchs consisted in flocks and herds, the care of which was shared by their sons, daughters, and servants. Rachel the bride of Jacob was a shepherdess, Ge 29:6; his sons, the fathers of the tribes of Israel were shepherds, and so was David their king, Ps 78:70-72. The employment is highly honored in the Bible, Lu 2:8-20. In…
