isaiah 49:12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

isaiah 49:12 "Behold, these shall come from afar; And lo, these [will come] from the north and from the west, And these from the land of Sinim."

12. Sinim--The Arabians and other Asiatics called China Sin, or Tchin; the Chinese had no special name for themselves, but either adopted that of the reigning dynasty or some high-sounding titles. This view of "Sinim" suits the context which requires a people to be meant "from far," and distinct from those "from the north and from the west" [GESENIUS].

isaiah 49:12 "Behold, these shall come from afar; And lo, these [will come] from the north and from the west, And these from the land of Sinim."
