Definitions for Isaiah 21:6
Barnes's Isaiah 21:6 Bible Commentary
Go, set a watchman - This was said to Isaiah in the vision. He represents himself as in Babylon, and as hearing God command him to set a watchman on the watch-tower who would announce what was to come to pass. All this is designed merely to bring the manner of the destruction of the city more vividly before the eye.
Wesley's Isaiah 21:6 Bible Commentary
21:6 Go set - This was now done only in a vision, but it signified what should be done really afterwards.
