Tafsiran Yesaya 40:3: Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Malbim & Malbim Beur Hamilot

A voice The Holy Spirit calls, “In the desert, the way to Jerusalem.”

The voice of him that crieth, of him, that brings the good tidings.

.A voice rings out. He describes that he hears a voice that rings out, because the prophet sees this as if it already happened, and describes in contrast how at the time where the ringing is quiet for a moment, he heard a voice saying "Proclaim!" (Verse 6), like hurry up and do not wait a minute, as will be explained there.

clear the way of the Lord for her exiles to return to her midst. [The Warsaw edition yields:] Clear the way of the Lord The way of Jerusalem for her exiles to return to her midst.
