פירוש על ישעיהו 54:3

shall you prevail Heb. תִּפְרֹצִי, shall you prevail.

תפרוצי Thou Shalt spread.⁶A. V., Thou shalt break forth. Comp. ופרצת and thou shalt spread abroad (Gen. 28:14). Some connect it with פרץ to break forth⁷That is, to break forth from within the boundaries of the place in order to occupy a larger space. (2 Sam. 6:8).

And thy seed, etc. This is the explanation of the preceding figure.

יושיבו They shall make to be inhabited. The third person plural they refers to זרעך thy seed.⁸I. E. makes this observation, as if to say, that in spite of the change in number (יירש sing., יושיבו pl.) the noun זרעך is the subject to both verbs.
