Isaiah 61:6 Douay-Rheims

But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

כהני The priests. I said already that the meaning of כהן is, one that ministers; it is therefore qualified here by the genitive of our God. The other nations will resemble the Israelites, and the Israelites will be like the Aaronites; the Israelites will therefore receive the abundance of nations as their tithes. תתאמרו=תתימרו Shall ye boast yourselves. Comp. האמרת thou hast boasted (Deut. 26:17).
