Isaiah 56:3

Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

Neither let the son of the stranger ... speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people. God welcomes all believers, without distinction of persons, under the new economy (Acts 10:34).

That hath joined himself to the Lord - (; .) 'Proselytes.'

Separated. Proselytes from the Gentiles were not admitted to the same privileges as native Israelites. This harrier between Jews and Gentiles was to be broken down (Ephesians 2:14).

Neither let the eunuch say - (, etc.) Eunuchs were chamberlains over harems, or court ministers in general.

Behold, I am a dry tree - barren (cf. ). Eunuchs were not admissible into the congregation of Israel (Deuteronomy 23:1). Under the Gospel the eunuch and stranger should be released from religious and civil disabilities.
