Isaiah 54:7 Douay-Rheims

For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

ברגע For a moment. The preposition ב is here pleonastic as in בתחלה at the beginning בראשונה at first. Some say that the meaning of רגע is rebuke; comp. רוגע who rebuketh. (51:15); their opinion is supported by the parallelism of the verse.

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
