The sun of righteousness — Christ, who is fitly compared to the sun, being the fountain of light, and vital heat to his church. And of mercy and benignity; for the Hebrew word imports both. With healing — His beams shall bring health and strength, with delight and joy, safety and security. Go forth — Go out of Jerusalem, before the fatal siege. Grow up — In strength, vigour and spiritual stature. Of the stall — Where they are safe guarded and well ordered.
