Quotation_auto_tanakh for Isaiah 63:3
פּוּרָ֣ה ׀ דָּרַ֣כְתִּי לְבַדִּ֗י וּמֵֽעַמִּים֙ אֵֽין־אִ֣ישׁ אִתִּ֔י וְאֶדְרְכֵ֣ם בְּאַפִּ֔י וְאֶרְמְסֵ֖ם בַּחֲמָתִ֑י וְיֵ֤ז נִצְחָם֙ עַל־בְּגָדַ֔י וְכָל־מַלְבּוּשַׁ֖י אֶגְאָֽלְתִּי׃
’I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with Me; yea, I trod them in Mine anger, and trampled them in My fury; and their lifeblood is dashed against My garments, and I have stained all My raiment.

The tribes of Yah bear witness to [the purity of] Israel.6See Rashi to Numbers 26:5. By associating His name Yud (י) Hey (ה) with the tribes of Israel, God testifies that His people had not been sexually defiled by the Egyptians. In their distress He feels distress,7See Mesechet Megillah 29a. [as they were] burdened and enslaved. By a sapphire brick,8When God appeared to the prophets during the era of enslavement, they saw Him with a sapphire brick under his feet. This demonstrated His concern for their hard labor to produce bricks for the the Egyptians. This comforted them in their exile.—Etz Yosef He showed them the might of [His] love; And revealed Himself to lift them from the depths of the pit and dungeon. “For with Adonoy is kindliness, and with Him, is abundant redemption.”9Psalms 130:7.
