The LORD is speaking through Isaiah to Israel, his chosen servant, promising that his Spirit and blessing will produce descendants who openly identify with him. In verse 5 three people declare their allegiance in different ways: one speaks it, one takes the name Jacob, and one writes the LORD's name on his hand, perhaps like a mark or tattoo branding a servant as belonging to his master.
