Isaiah 41:8
Douay-Rheims
But thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend:
Ibn Ezra
But thou, Israel, etc. Those are worshippers of idols, says the prophet, but thou, Israel, art my servant; the name of Abraham is mentioned here, because he also was taken out from the midst of idolaters. אהבי Who loved me. It is not the same as אהובי who is loved by me, the former being active, the latter passive.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
