“Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.”
The universal dominion—'See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you'—asserts that Israel will command the allegiance of nations previously unknown. The image of nations running to Israel suggests eager submission. The attribution of this dominion to God's glorification of Israel emphasizes that power flows from divine intention. This verse depicts universal recognition of Israel's significance.
