Isaiah 56:1-7
(Tanakh)
Thus said the LORD:
Observe what is right and do what is just;
For soon My salvation shall come,
And My deliverance be revealed.
Happy is the man who does this,
The man who holds fast to it:
Who keeps the Sabbath
And does not profane it,
And stays his hand from doing any evil.
Let not the foreigner say,
Who has attached himself to the LORD,
“The LORD will keep me apart from His people;”
And let not the eunuch say,
“I am a withered tree.”
For thus said the LORD:
“As for the eunuch who keep my Sabbaths,
Who have chosen what I desire
And hold fast to My covenant—
I will give them, in My House
And within My walls,
A monument and a name
Better than sons or daughters.
I will give them an everlasting name
Which shall not perish.
As for the foreigners
Who attach themselves to the LORD,
To minister to Him,
And to love the name of the LORD,
To be His servants―
All who keep the sabbath
And do not profane it,
And who hold fast to My covenant—
I will bring them to My sacred mount
And let them rejoice in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
Shall be welcome on My alter;
For My House
Shall be called a house of prayer
For all peoples.”
