Commentary on Isaiah 51:2

Theological / Devotional

Look unto Abraham. God reminds Israel of their origin as a nation (Gen. 11:28, 31; 12:1, 4, 5). Triumphs of the past should inspire courage in the present and hope for the future (see Hosea 1:10).

Blessed him. Dead Sea scroll 1QIs reads, “I caused him to be fruitful” (see Gen. 17:6 ; 28:3; 48:4; 49:22).
