Commento su Isaia 55:6

when He is found Before the verdict is promulgated, when He still says to you, “Seek Me.”

Seek ye the Lord. This appeal is made to the contemporaries of the prophet,¹³That were, together with the prophet, captives in Babylon. See I. E. on 40:1. telling them to seek the Lord, since they knew that they would be redeemed from Babylon, and after that again from all other nations.

While He may be found by those that seek Him. God is certainly everywhere at all times; but the meaning of this phrase is, while the decree is not yet resolved upon: in a similar way the phrase, while He is near is to be explained, namely, while He permits His glory to rest upon the temple.¹⁴The words רמז לשכינה שהיא במקדש seem to be a new explanation, which is quite different from the preceding one while the decree is not yet resolved upon. In the commentary Michlal Jofi the latter is assigned to the Talmud, the former to Don Isaak Abravanel. We conjecture therefore that the word או or before רמז has been dropped; and have restored it in the translation.
