Isaiah 65:9

When a separation is effected the true Israelites shall possess the land (ch. Isaiah 57:13; Isaiah 60:21).

a seed Cf. ch. Isaiah 6:13; Isaiah 53:10.

my mountains the mountain land of Palestine, an Isaianic phrase (ch. Isaiah 14:25). shall inherit it i.e. the land.

shall dwell there Dillmann infers from the adv. "there" that neither the prophet nor his hearers lived in Palestine; but the argument cannot be sustained. "There" may be said of a place just mentioned, irrespective of the speaker's relation to it. Thus in ch. Isaiah 37:33 Isaiah says that the king of Assyria "shall not shoot an arrow there," referring to Jerusalem ("this city") where he was living.
