Ishodad of Merv, on Isa 49:5
Ishodad of Merv · d. A.D. 850
Isa 49:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And now saith the Lord, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I may bring back Jacob unto him, and Israel will not be gathered together: and I am glorified in the eyes of the Lord, and my God is made my strength.”
On this verse:
“"Who formed me from the womb to be his servant." This is clearly said with reference to Zerubbabel and the people but was accomplished in Christ. And indeed, since Christ will descend from them, it is with good reason that what concerns him is represented in them as in a sign.”
