פירוש על ישעיהו 49:1

called me from the womb When I was still in the womb, the thought came before Him that my name should be Isaiah (יְשַׁעְיָה) to prophesy salvations (יְשׁוּעוֹת) and consolations.

Unto me, that is unto the prophet.

From far. That live far away; or things that will happen in remote future.

Hath called me from the birth, I shall explain this in the commentary on Jer. 1:2.¹Comp. c. xlviii. Note 10.
