Abstract

Despite the fact that there are texts in the OT in which the foreign figure is portrayed in a rather negative manner, in some other moments opposite opinions other than that arise aiming at the integration of that one in the YHWH community. The text of Isaiah 56:1-8 is one of these instances in which the prophet, opposing to certain exclusivist readings, in the name of God, offers alternatives to those people from other nations. This present article is to provide an analysis of the Isaiah text in its theological aspects, spotlighting in the oracle the figure of the foreigner. And next, the pericope will be confronted with the likely historical context that has generated it.
