Commentary for Isaiah 64:6
וְאֵין־קוֹרֵ֣א בְשִׁמְךָ֔ מִתְעוֹרֵ֖ר לְהַחֲזִ֣יק בָּ֑ךְ כִּֽי־הִסְתַּ֤רְתָּ פָנֶ֙יךָ֙ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ וַתְּמוּגֵ֖נוּ בְּיַד־עֲוֺנֵֽנוּ׃
And there is none that calleth upon Thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of Thee; for Thou hast hid Thy face from us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Rashi on Isaiah
arouses himself Like ‘overpowers his temptation.’

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
מתעורר That stirreth up himself. It is an adjective.17Such a contraction is usually indicated by a Dagesh in the letter next to the one omitted; here the ב should have a Dagesh (וַנַּבֶּל Hiphil of נבל). The form can, however, be considered as regular if derived from בול; verbs פ״נ and ע״ו interchange sometimes; comp. סוך and נסך to anoint.
