35:8 ^a The imagery of the great road recalls Israel’s crossing through the Red Sea (51:10 ^b).

• Only holy and undefiled people will share the Highway of Holiness. God’s goal in salvation is that humans will share in his character and act as he does (see Eph 5:1-2 ^c; 1 Pet 2:21 ^d).
35:10 ^e Jerusalem: The prophecy extends beyond the return of Israel from exile to the final establishment of God’s kingdom on earth. It will be characterized by joy and gladness and the absence of sorrow and mourning (see also 25:7 ^f; 51:11 ^g; Rev 21:4 ^h).
