Isaiah 66:20
And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

Study Note
God envisions the Gentile nations bringing the dispersed Israelites home as an offering to the Lord — riding horses, chariots, litters, mules, and camels to the holy mountain in Jerusalem. The transportation of the diaspora by Gentiles 'as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel' makes the returnees themselves the sacred gift, inverting the exile where Israel was carried away as spoil. The passage (66:18-21) culminates with God taking priests and Levites from among the Gentiles — an extraordinary expansion of priestly access beyond Israel's ethnic boundaries. Paul's vision in Romans 15:16 of his Gentile mission as 'priestly service of the gospel' that presents the Gentiles as an acceptable offering draws on this precise imagery.
