Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:3

I gave Egypt for thy ransom: this was fulfilled either, 1. When God smote the Egyptians, both first-born and others, in Egypt, and drowned Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for the safety and benefit of his people; or, 2. When the king of Assyria, either Sennacherib, as many think, or rather Esar-haddon, who designed to revenge his father’s disgrace and loss before Jerusalem upon the Jews, but was diverted and directed by God to employ his forces against Egypt, and Ethiopia, and Seba, as it... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-3

CHEERING WORDS FOR THE AFFLICTEDIsaiah 43:1-3. But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, &c.These cheering words were addressed by God to His peculiar people the Jews; but He has a peculiar people now, and all who partake of their faith and love may consider this Scripture as written for the purpose of imparting comfort and strength to their troubled hearts. It suggests four subjects for consideration: the afflictions to which the people of God are liable; the exhortation addressed to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-3

Isaiah 43:1-3 In this text we have I. A charge given "Fear not." A righteous, godly fear the believer may have; but the cowardice of the world, which is loud to boast, and slow to act, and quick to doubt which is prone to distrust even the Almighty and disbelieve the All-true this he must never know. It becomes neither the dignity of his calling nor the faithfulness of his God. II. A reason assigned "Thou art Mine." These words were spoken to Israel after the flesh, and to them they still... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:1-28

Isaiah 43:1 . The Lord that created thee, oh Jacob. Not only in the first creation, but when Sarah, and when Rebecca were barren, I gave them power to become mothers. I have also created and formed thee into a nation; thy disobedience therefore is left without excuse. Isaiah 43:3 . I gave Egypt for thy ransom. Those nations were nearly destroyed, in order to effect the emancipation of Israel. God most remarkably diverted the Assyrian invasion from Judea to an attack upon Egypt. Isaiah... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 43:3

Isaiah 43:3For I am the Lord thy GodJehovah’s valuation of His peopleI.THE LORD’S DECLARATION OF HIS OWN NAME. “I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour.” He gives His name thus to distinguish Himself from false gods. He also sets forth His name at large, for the comfort of His people. There is something in every name of God which may breed faith in our souls. I think He also does it to excite our wonder mad gratitude. Let us devoutly think of each of these names separately. I.... read more
