以賽亞書 63:3-16 RCUVTS

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:10

But they rebelled ,.... Against the Lord, not withstanding he thought so well of them; did so many good things for them; sympathized with them, and showed them so many favours; wretched ingratitude! they rebelled against the Lord in the times of Moses, at the Red sea, and in the wilderness, by their murmurings, unbelief, and idolatry; wherefore he calls them a rebellious people, and says they were such from the day he had been with them; and so in later times, in the times of the judges, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:11

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people ,.... Which may be understood either of the Lord, who remembered his lovingkindnesses towards these people, and his tender mercies which had been ever of old; the covenant he made with their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the wonders he did for them in Egypt, at the Red sea, and in the wilderness, by the hand of Moses; his intercession to him on their behalf, and the many great and good things he did for them; and therefore... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:12

That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm ,.... That is, through the Red sea, as the next clause shows: this was done by the right hand of Moses, and the rod in it, to which Kimchi thinks respect is had; who, by divine order, lifted up his rod, and stretched out his hand over the sea, and divided it, and so led the people through it: but, lest this should be attributed to Moses and his rod, the glorious arm of the Lord is made mention of, which held and guided the right... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:13

That led them through the deep ,.... The depths, the bottom of the sea; not through the shallow, but where the waters had been deepest, the descent greatest; and at the bottom of which might have been expected much filth and dirt to hinder them in their passage, yet through this he led them: as an horse in the wilderness ; or rather, "in a plain", as the word F2 במדבר "in planitie", Calvin, Gataker, Vitringa; "in campis", Grotius. sometimes signifies; and so Kimchi renders it a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:14

As a beast goeth down into the valley ,.... Softly and gently, especially when laden; which may have some respect to the descent of the Israelites into the sea, into which they entered without any fear and dread, and without any hurry and precipitation, though Pharaoh's host was behind them; or rather, "as a beast goes along a valley", or "plain" F3 כבהמה בבקעה תרד "sicut jumentum quod in campo, vel valle, vel planitie, graditur", Gataker. ; with ease, and without any... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:15

Look down from heaven ,.... Here begins the prayer of the church and people of God, which continues to the end of the chapter, goes through the next, and the answer to which begins at Isaiah 65:1 . Aben Ezra calls it the prayer of the wise in captivity: it seems to be the petition of some converts among the Jews, either in the first times of the Gospel, or in the latter day; who entreat that the Lord would "look down from heaven", the third heaven, the seat of his majesty, where is his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:16

Doubtless thou art our father ,.... Therefore why shouldst thou restrain thy mercies and bowels of compassion from us? or therefore look down upon us, and behold us; the church pleads her relation to God, and in a strong manner; faith of interest continued with her, though he hid his face from her. This relation of father and children, which subsists between God and his people, is not upon the foot of creation, so he is a father to all men; nor on account of national adoption, so he was to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:3

And of the people there was none with me - I was wholly abandoned by them: but a good meaning is, No man has had any part in making the atonement; it is entirely the work of the Messiah alone. No created being could have any part in a sacrifice that was to be of infinite merit. And I will stain "And I have stained" - For אגאלתי egalti , a verb of very irregular formation, compounded, as they say, of the two forms of the preterite and future, a MS. has אגאלהו egalehu , the regular... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:5

And my fury "And mine indignation" - For וחמתי vachamathi , nineteen MSS. (three ancient) of Kennicott's, nine of De Rossi's, and one of mine, and four editions, have וצדקתי vetsidkathi , and my righteousness; from Isaiah 59:16 , which I suppose the transcriber retained in his memory. It is true that the Versions are in favor of the common reading; but that noticed above seems to stand on good authority, and is a reading both pleasing and impressive. Opposite, in the margin, my MS.... read more

And make them drunk in my fury "And I crushed them in mine indignation" - For ואשכרם vaashkerem , and I made them drunken, twenty-seven MSS., (three ancient), twelve of De Rossi's, and the old edition of 1488, have ואשברם vaashabberem , and I crushed them: and so the Syriac and Chaldee. The Septuagint have omitted this whole line. read more
