Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Isa 51:2
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Isa 51:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Look unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.”
On this verse:
“alone--translate, "I called him when he was but one" (Eze 33:24). The argument is: the same God who had so blessed "one" individual, as to become a mighty nation (Gen 12:1; Gen 22:7), can also increase and bless the small remnant of Israel, both that left in the Babylonish captivity, and that left in the present and latter days (Zac 14:2); "the residue" (Isa 13:8-9).”
