Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 2:8
וַתִּמָּלֵ֥א אַרְצ֖וֹ אֱלִילִ֑ים לְמַעֲשֵׂ֤ה יָדָיו֙ יִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֔וּ לַאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשׂ֖וּ אֶצְבְּעֹתָֽיו׃
Aber ebenso voll ist sein Land von Götzen, vor ihrer Hände Werk bücken sie sich, vor dem, was ihre Finger angefertigt.
Rashi on Isaiah
they prostrate themselves Heb. ישתחוו. Although the form is future, it is to be rendered like מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים, they prostrate themselves.

אלילים Idols. Root אַל "not"; the idols are called by this name, because there is no reality in them.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
They worship the work of his 14A. V., Their. hands, that which his fingers have made. They—all the people—worship the work of his—the smith’s—hands, that which his—the smith’s—fingers have made.15Ibn Ezra explains hereby the change of the number in ידיו "his hands", and ישתחוו "they worship" ; the Version evades the difficulty by translating ידיו "their hands".
