| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “in all their distress, there was distress to him” (reading לוֹ [lo] with the margin/Qere). 2 tn Heb “the messenger [or “angel”] of his face”; NIV “the angel of his presence.” sn This may refer to the “angel of God” mentioned in Exod 14:19, who in turn may be identical to the divine “presence” (literally, “face”) referred to in Exod 33:14-15 and Deut 4:37. Here in Isa 63 this messenger may be equated with God’s “holy Spirit” (see vv. 10-11) and “the Spirit of the Lord” (v. 14). See also Ps 139:7, where God’s “Spirit” seems to be equated with his “presence” (literally, “face”) in the synonymous parallelistic structure. 3 tn Or “redeemed” (KJV, NAB, NIV), or “delivered.” 4 tn Heb “all the days of antiquity”; KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “days of old.” |
