Ibn Ezra, on Isa 29:23
Ibn Ezra · 1089–1167
Isa 29:23 · Douay-Rheims
“But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify the God of Israel:”
On this verse:
“For when he seeth his children, etc. For when he sees his children, and the good which I shall do to the pious, they—he and his children—shall sanctify my name. יעריצו They will cause others to fear the God of Israel, or they shall be afraid, intransitive. Having mentioned Jacob, the prophet says metaphorically, they will sanctify, etc. that is to say, if Jacob were alive and saw his pious children, and the wonders which God performed for their sake, he would join his children in sanctifying His name; for He was the holy one of Jacob.”
