They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.

The Offering is People

Commentators agree that the 'offering' brought to God is not an animal sacrifice, but people from all nations. The verse describes Gentile converts being brought into God's family as a 'minchah' (a bloodless offering). Scholars like Calvin and Ellicott connect this to Romans 15:16, where the Apostle Paul describes his ministry as presenting the Gentiles as an acceptable offering to God. This highlights that the fruit of evangelism is the ultimate gift presented to the Lord.
