Isaiah 40:7 Douay-Rheims

The grass is withered, and the dower is fallen, because the spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed the people is grass:

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

חציר Grass. The fresh grass; the word has the same meaning in Arabic. נשבה Bloweth. Comp. וישב and he drove away (Gen. 15:11), though of a different conjugation. כחציר=חציר Like grass. העם All people. כל עם = הָעָם all people; all individuals included in the term עם people.

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