Or the light may refer to the light of the Lord, shining on them and blessing them. # your healing would quickly sprout up This means God will bless and restore them quickly, as a wound heals quickly. # your righteousness would go before you, and the glory of Yahweh would be your rearguard This refers to the time when God protected the people of Israel as they escaped from Egypt.
