Kedar and Mount Sela

Isaiah 42:11, Kedar and Sela are mentioned in a prophetic, universal call for praise to the Lord, representing distant or rugged locations (the desert and rocky heights) joining in worship. Kedar refers to nomadic Arab tribes, while Sela (meaning "rock") is likely a city in Petra or the region of Edom/modern-day Saudi Arabia.

  • Context of Isaiah 42: This verse is part of a "new song" of praise, celebrating God’s servant who brings justice to the nations.
  • Kedar's Significance: Kedar (descendants of Ishmael) often symbolizes Bedouin, desert-dwelling tribes, specifically representing those in the Arabian peninsula in this context.
  • Sela's Meaning: Sela is identified as a, or the, rock/rock-city, often associated with Petra (in Edom/southern Jordan/northern Saudi Arabia).
  • Symbolic Meaning: The verse highlights that God's salvation or message extends even to the most remote, barren, or rugged, "forgotten" places.
  • Diverse Interpretations: While Christian interpretation focuses on the inclusion of the Gentiles in worship, some interpretations, such as those discussed on Reddit and Facebook, suggest these terms represent geographical locations (like Medina) related to the coming of a future prophet.
The call for Kedar and Sela to shout from the mountaintops (v. 11) serves to contrast with the "coastlands" and "islands" in v. 10, completing a picture of praise from every corner of the earth.

This passage highlights that divine honor is reserved solely for God. While God shares His glory with Jesus (John 17:22), the core message is that glory belongs to the Creator alone. Key insights on "glory" in the Bible: Exclusive Ownership: God states, "My glory I give to no other" (Isaiah 42:8, ESV). Against Idolatry: This declarati...
