Komentarz do Izajasza 29:23

For, when he sees his children who will be the work of My hands, i.e., righteous men, in his midst, for when he sees in his midst that his children, the work of My hands, shall hallow My name, e. g., Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (see Dan. 3), therefore, his face shall not pale.

For when he seeth his children, etc. For when he sees his children, and the good which I shall do to the pious, they—he and his children—shall sanctify my name.

יעריצו They will cause others to fear the God of Israel, or they shall be afraid, intransitive.²⁹פועל עומר is here used in the Hebrew text only to express that the verb is not causative, that it does not mean ייראו אחרים, they will cause others to fear. The expression פועל עומד comprehends more than the term intransitive, and signifies sometimes a transitive verb if contrasted with a causative transitive verb. Having mentioned Jacob, the prophet says metaphorically, they will sanctify, etc. that is to say, if Jacob were alive and saw his pious children, and the wonders which God performed for their sake, he would join his children in sanctifying His name; for He was the holy one of Jacob.
