Isaiah

Isaiah 22:1-8 Beginning with Isaiah 22, we see Isaiah speaking an oracle against Jerusalem. This is an interesting place for Isaiah’s oracle to begin, the reason being, this oracle follows Isaiah having given an oracle to the nations first. This is a fantastic parallel to the rabbinic concept of God offering His Torah to the nations prior to Israel. The...

Isaiah 22:17-25 Here Isaiah continues speaking of how Shebnah will be taken and carried away to die in a foreign land. These verses are believed to be directed to Shebnah and as a prediction of what is to come. Isaiah continues saying the following: ספר ישעיה פרק כביז הִנֵּה יְהֹוָה מְטַלְטֶלְךָ טַלְטֵלָה גָּבֶר וְעֹטְךָ עָטֹה: יח צָנוֹף יִצְנָפְךָ צְנֵפָה כַּדּוּר אֶל-אֶרֶץ...

Isaiah 28:15-21 The narrative now changes to the people of Jerusalem and Judah, which was indicated by Isaiah’s statement according to Isaiah 28:14 “Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. (לָכֵן שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר-יְהֹוָה אַנְשֵׁי לָצוֹן מֹשְׁלֵי הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בִּירוּשָׁלָם)” Here the word לָכֵן “wherefore” indicates this shift in...

Isaiah 23:10-18 Concerning Tyre, the great city falling was not merely the result of Assyrian king’s desire for war and to conquer other nations. The reason for her fall was due to her pride, her wealth, and her disposition towards other nations, i.e., the slave trade and human trafficking can be used as an example. The God of Israel is...

Isaiah 27:1-6 The opening verse of Isaiah 27:1-13 speaks of the Leviathan, the Serpent, and so commentators argue over the authenticity and the position of this verse, whether this should have been coupled with Chapter 26 or not. The serpent, נָחָשׁ (nachash) ὄφις (ophis), based upon this verse and that of what we read in the Torah, makes this creature...

Isaiah 25:1-6 Isaiah chapter 25, commentators say this is the response to chapter 24. Chapter 25 can be broken down in the following way: (i) a song of thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness in delivering His people (Isaiah 25:1-5), and (ii) the explanation that God’s purpose for the destruction of the earth is the redemption of the earth from death (Isaiah...

Isaiah 16:8-14 Previously, Isaiah 16:1-5 appears to be Isaiah pleading with Judah to take in the refugees of Moab. The remainder of these verses Isaiah 16:8-14 we see what happens in Judah’s response to the previous request. We note the messianic flavor of the TgJ which interprets the word כַר in Isaiah 16:1 is a reference to the Messiah (לִמשִיחָא)...

Isaiah 22:9-16 The prophet Isaiah speaks on the weapons of war (Isaiah 22:8), the walls (22:9-10), and the supply of water (22:9-11). The preparedness for war is not the problem here, the major problem is Judah and Jerusalem not trusting in the Lord, making Him their priority as opposed to relying upon themselves. We are called all throughout history to...

The commentary on Isaiah 8:11-23 explores the theme of sanctifying the Lord in every way and not following the ways of the nations. The commentary uses references from the Torah and other biblical passages to support its interpretation of Isaiah’s message. The commentary also relates Isaiah’s words to the Messiah Yeshua and his role as a stumbling stone for many. The web page is part of MATSATI.COM Teaching Ministry, a website that provides Torah studies and biblical insights from a Hebrew perspective.

Isaiah 18:1-7 Isaiah chapter 18 seems to be a more generalized oracle and opens with speaking about Cush (Ethiopia). As we moved down through Isaiah 18 the prophet speaks of a land divided by rivers. This seems to tie this oracle to Egypt since Chapter 19 is an oracle against Egypt. Modern commentaries however want to tie this chapter to...

The web page is a commentary on Isaiah 13:1-11, which describes Isaiah’s prophecy against Babylon and the day of the Lord. The web page analyzes how Isaiah’s words challenge the faith of his readers, who might doubt God’s ability to predict and control the future events. The web page also compares Isaiah’s language with other biblical passages that depict God’s judgment and sovereignty over the nations. The web page highlights how Isaiah warns the people of Judah and Jerusalem to trust in God and not in man, and how God will use Babylon as his instrument of wrath, but also punish them for their pride and wickedness. The web page emphasizes that God is the Almighty, the Lord of hosts, and the King of kings, who can bring destruction or salvation according to his will.

The commentary explores the themes of captivity, pride, sin, judgment, and righteousness in the context of Isaiah’s prophecy and the Torah. The commentary also draws on rabbinic literature and other biblical passages to illustrate the message of Isaiah. The commentary is divided into two parts: an introduction to Isaiah 5:13-30 and a rabbinic commentary on Isaiah 5:13-30.

The web page is an article that discusses Isaiah 11:1-9, which contains prophecies about the Messianic King, his divine appointment, and his role in bringing life from the dead to Israel and the world. The article examines the meaning and significance of various phrases and images in the passage, such as the branch from Jesse, the Spirit of the Lord, the righteous judgment, and the peaceful coexistence of animals and humans. The article also compares Isaiah’s prophecies with other passages from the Tanakh and the New Testament that relate to the Messiah and his kingdom. The article concludes by emphasizing the hope and joy that Isaiah’s vision offers to God’s people.

The significance of the name Emmanuel (God is with us) in Isaiah 8:1-10. He compares this name with another name given to a prophetic son in the same chapter, Maher-shalal-hash-baz (hurry to booty, speedy to spoils), and explores how these names relate to the Messianic expectation of the Jewish people. He also examines the historical and literary context of Isaiah’s prophecy, and how it applies to the first and second coming of Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah.

The Book of Isaiah is a valuable source of insight into the religious and political life of ancient Israel. It is also a powerful and moving work of literature that continues to be read and studied by people of faith today. The Book of Isaiah is one of the longest books in the Hebrew Bible and contains some of the most famous prophecies in the Old Testament.

Isaiah 16:1-7 In Isaiah 15 the text was a lament to Moab which described her destruction. In Isaiah 16:1-5 there appears to be a plea on behalf of Moab to Judah because of her troubles. Isaiah 16:6-12 then appears to be a response to Isaiah 16:1-5. We note the contrast of Judah and Jerusalem between their fallen state and their...

The web page is a commentary on Isaiah 6:1-13, where the prophet Isaiah has a vision of God and angels in heaven. The author argues that this vision is not chronologically out of place, but rather serves as a background for Isaiah’s calling and message to a sinful people. The author also draws connections between Isaiah’s vision and the Torah, the holiness of God, the cleansing of Isaiah’s lips, and the trustworthiness of God.

Isaiah 1:21-31 is a poem of praise and thanksgiving to God for his deliverance of Israel from their enemies. The poem begins with a call to praise God, who is the rock of our salvation and the stronghold of our lives. The poem then goes on to describe God's deliverance of Israel from their enemies, and how God has brought them out of darkness into light. The poem ends with a call to rejoice and be glad in God, who is our salvation.

Isaiah 25:7-12 It is interesting here in Isaiah 25:6-8 we read how attention goes to a banquet, of song, and of how the Lord will swallow up death in victory and wipe away tears from all faces. When a king is crowned as king, there is a great banquet that is held and here Isaiah describes how the King’s subjects...

The web page is an article that discusses Isaiah 14:1-10, a passage that describes the downfall of the king of Babylon and the restoration of Israel. The article argues that Isaiah does not imply that Israel will reduce the Gentiles to slaves, but rather that the Gentiles will join themselves to Israel and share in God’s blessings. The article also explores the symbolic meanings of the staff, the scepter, the cedars of Lebanon, and Sheol in relation to the pride and judgment of the nations. The article concludes by emphasizing God’s power and mercy over all creation and His plan for both Jews and Gentiles to draw near to Him through His Messiah Yeshua.

Isaiah 24:1-8 Isaiah 24 is the first of four chapters that are called the Apocalypse of Isaiah, because he speaks of a worldwide dominion of God. The point of these four chapters as compared to Isaiah 13-23, is that he gives a more generalized and broader prophecy of destruction. He declares the Lordship of God over all the world, and...

Isaiah 26:1-7 Isaiah 26:1-21 and 27:1-13 continue along the same line of thought as we have been reading in Isaiah 24 and 25. The opening verse in Isaiah 26 refers to a song of joy (Isaiah 26:1, 26:19, 27:2). We note that in Isaiah 24-25, we read about the victory of God and the feast; here we see Isaiah 26-27...

Isaiah 29:7-12 We note again that Isaiah speaks of the drunkards in Isaiah 29:9 which illustrates a wanton disregard for the things of God. It is because of this unawareness of one’s surroundings, what one is doing, and disregard for life coupled with pride, that the Lord God must bring His people down to destruction prior to the bringing of...

The article compares the glory and pride of Babylon with the glory and wrath of God, who overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. The article also discusses the value and preciousness of human life, which is created in God’s image, and how pride leads to violence and oppression. The article contrasts the fate of Babylon, which remains in ruins, with the fate of Israel, which remains the apple of God’s eye. The article concludes by urging the readers to trust in God’s word and repent from their sins.

Isaiah 17:1-7 In chapter 17, Isaiah speaks about Damascus and northern Israel. Commentators suggest that this was an earlier prophecy and question why this was placed here in chapter 17. They place this during the alliance that the king of Israel made with Syria in 735-732 BC. Isaiah 17:1-14 however continues the theme of trusting in God as opposed to...

Isaiah 19:14-25 According to the Narrative, HaShem is the One who is the source of all that is happening to Egypt. He allows a spirit to deceive them, to distort their ability to understand the truth, and even prevent the wisemen from understanding these things are from the Lord. The people follow what their leaders tell them mindlessly without critically...
