“Do not let the foreigners

Joined to Yahweh say,

‘Yahweh will surely separate me

From his people.’

Do not let the eunuch say,

‘I am just a dry tree.’

Thus says Yahweh.

‘To the eunuchs

Who keep my Sabbath,

Who choose the things that please me,

Who hold fast to my covenant,

I will give,

In my house,

Within my walls,

A monument.

I will give a name

Better than sons,

Better than daughters.

I will give them an everlasting name.

They shall not be cut off.’”

For some reason, eunuchs, who had their testicles removed, were looked down upon. However, Yahweh, here in Third Isaiah, seems to honor them if they are faithful to Yahweh. If they keep the Sabbath, do what Yahweh wants done, and keep the covenant, Yahweh will find a monument place for them in his house, within his walls. They would not be able to say that they were like dry trees. In fact, they will have a better name than a son or daughter. They will have an everlasting name that will never be cut off. This is a very strong statement on eunuchs.
