Commentary on Isaiah 63:12

Theological / Devotional

The right hand. This hand was regarded as the hand of strength and of action (see Ps. 20:6).

His glorious arm. Compare chs. 40:10; 53:1. This was the arm by which God had wrought such mighty acts for the deliverance of His people from Egypt (Ex. 6:6; 15:6, 12; Deut. 4:34 ; 7:8).

Dividing the water. The reference is to the miraculous parting of the waters of the Red Sea (Ex. 14:21; Ps. 106:9).

An everlasting name. The fame of Jehovah’s name had spread throughout the ancient East because of His mighty deeds in delivering the people from their Egyptian bondage (see Joshua 2:10; 2 Sam. 7:23).
