They go
This phrase suggests movement and progression, indicating a journey or pilgrimage. In the Hebrew context, the word "they" refers to the collective group of believers or worshippers. The journey is not just physical but also spiritual, symbolizing the believer's walk with God. Historically, this could refer to the Israelites traveling to Jerusalem for the feasts, a practice deeply rooted in Jewish tradition.

from strength to strength
The Hebrew word for "strength" here is "chayil," which can mean might, efficiency, or wealth. The repetition of "strength" emphasizes a continual increase in vitality and spiritual vigor. This phrase suggests that as believers progress in their spiritual journey, they are continually renewed and empowered by God. It reflects the idea that faith and trust in God lead to ever-increasing spiritual resilience and capacity.

until each appears
This phrase indicates a culmination or a goal of the journey. The Hebrew word for "appears" can also mean to be seen or to present oneself. It implies a personal encounter or presentation before God, suggesting that the journey is not complete until one stands in the presence of the Almighty. This reflects the ultimate goal of the believer's life: to be in communion with God.

before God
The phrase "before God" signifies being in the presence of the divine. In the Hebrew tradition, appearing before God was a significant event, often associated with worship and sacrifice. It underscores the holiness and reverence due to God, reminding believers of the awe and respect required when approaching Him.

in Zion
Zion is a term rich with meaning, often used to refer to Jerusalem, the city of God, and by extension, the dwelling place of God among His people. In a broader spiritual sense, Zion represents the ultimate destination for believers, a place of divine presence and eternal fellowship with God. Historically, Zion was the center of Jewish worship and the location of the Temple, making it a powerful symbol of God's covenant and promises.

(7) They go from strength to strength--i.e., each difficulty surmounted adds fresh courage and vigour.

"And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strife,

From strength to strength advancing, only he

His soul well knit, and all his battles won,

Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life."

MATTHEW ARNOLD.

The marginal "from company to company" follows the alternative meaning of the Hebrew word, and suggests a picture of the actual progress of the various bands composing a caravan. But the expression in either sense is hardly Hebrew, and the text is suspicious. It emends easily to "They go to the Temple of the Living God, to see the God of gods in Zion" (Gratz).

Verse 7. - They go from strength to strength. Their spiritual course is one of continually greater vitality and vigour. Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. Either "Each in his turn appears to render thanks and praise before God's holy seat on Mount Zion;" or "Each in his turn shall appear before God's throne in the true Zion, heaven."
