Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 36. - The Lord shall judge his people (cf. Psalm 135:14; 1 Peter 4:17). And repent himself for his servants; rather, and have compassion upon his servants. And there is none shut up, or left. The words rendered "shut up or left" are a proverbial expression for "every one, men of all sorts" (cf. 1 Kings 14:10; 1 Kings 21:21; 2 Kings 9:8; 2 Kings 14:26); but how the words are to be rendered or explained is uncertain. Rosenmüller renders as in the Authorized Version; Gesenius has, "the shut up and the let go free, the bond and the flee;" so also Furst and De Wette; De Dieu, "married and single, conjugatus et coelebs," referring to the Arabic usage in support of his conclusion ('Animad. in Ver. Test.,' p. 114), and this Keil approves. Ewald has "kept in (by legal impurity) or at large." The explanation of Gesenius and Furst seems best.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(36) For the Lord shall judge His people.--Quoted in Hebrews 10:30, in connection with the previous verse. According to this view "shall judge" means "shall punish," not "shall defend."And repent Himself for His servants.--Or, and will be comforted over His servants. Comp. Ezekiel 5:13, "I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted;" and also Isaiah 1:24, &c.None shut up, or left.--Comp. 1Kings 14:10; 1Kings 21:21; 2Kings 9:8, and especially Deuteronomy 14:26. . . .
