Komentaryo sa Isaias 43:14: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

כֹּֽה־אָמַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה גֹּאַלְכֶ֖ם קְד֣וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְמַעַנְכֶ֞ם שִׁלַּ֣חְתִּי בָבֶ֗לָה וְהוֹרַדְתִּ֤י בָֽרִיחִים֙ כֻּלָּ֔ם וְכַשְׂדִּ֖ים בָּאֳנִיּ֥וֹת רִנָּתָֽם׃

Ganito ang sabi ng Walang-Hanggan, ang inyong Manunubos, ang Banal ng Israel: Alang-alang sa inyo ay nagpadala Ako sa Babilonia, at ibababa Ko silang lahat sa mga bangkang may sagwan, pati ang mga Caldeo, sa mga barkong dati nilang pinagsasayahan.

Rashi

Because of you, I sent [you] to Babylon Jonathan paraphrases: Because of your sins I exiled you to Babylon.

Ibn Ezra

שלחתי I was sent.16A. V., I have sent. Some think that the first person I refers to the prophet; but I am of opinion that God is speaking, because this verse begins, Thus saith the Lord, and the next verse, I am the Lord, The meaning of the phrase is: I have come so hastily, as if I were sent.17I. E. seems to have read שֻׁלַּחְתּׅי instead of שׁׅלַּחְתּׅי adopted in our printed Bibles. A very learned man in Spain conjectures, that the Divine Glory,18The angels, according to I. E., being the uncorporeal first emanation from the divine Glory, are also called הכבוד the divine glory. the same heavenly prince of Israel18aComp. Dan. 10:20. that has been sent to Babylon to redeem Israel, is speaking to the prophet.

and I lowered them all with oars Heb. וְהוֹרַדְתִּי בָרִיחִים. Jonathan renders: And I lowered with oars (בִּמְשׁוֹטִין), all of them. מְשׁוֹטִין denotes the wood that guides the ship and straightens it out.

Rashi

and Chaldees led you in the ships of their rejoicing. This may also be explained as regards the news of the redemption, as follows: Because of you, I sent I will send the kings of Media to Babylon, and I will lower the Chaldees in ships and oars into exile to the land of Media. And the Chaldees I will lower in ships which their rejoicing was [i.e., the Chaldees would be taken into captivity with the very boats in which they had previously rejoiced].
