Tafsiran Yesaya 9:12: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

וְהָעָ֥ם לֹא־שָׁ֖ב עַד־הַמַּכֵּ֑הוּ וְאֶת־יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת לֹ֥א דָרָֽשׁוּ׃ (ס)

Namun bangsa itu tidak berbalik kepada Dia yang memukulnya, dan Yang Mahakekal semesta alam tidak mereka cari.

Rashi

to the One Who smites it To the Holy One, blessed be He, Who brings these afflictions upon them.

And the people. Namely, Israel.

Ibn Ezra

Unto him that smiteth them. Unto God, because in truth it is He that smote; the word המכהו has two determinations, like האהלי (Jos. 21:7), my tent.14The two determinations are: the definite article and the possessive pronoun. Nouns with pronominal suffixes have usually no article, because they are sufficiently determined by the pronoun contained in the suffix.
