Isa 42:19 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 19. As my messenger that I sent -"As he to whom I have sent my messengers"] kemalachey eshlach , ut ad quem nuncios meos misi. The Vulgate and Chaldee are almost the only interpreters who render it rightly, in consistence with the rest of the sentence, and in perfect agreement with the Hebrew idiom; according to which the ellipsis is to be thus supplied: kelaasher malachey eshlach ; "As he to whom I have sent my messengers." As he that is perfect -"As he who is perfectly instructed"] . And blind as the Lord's servant -"And deaf, as the servant of JEHOVAH"] For veivver, and blind , we must read vecheresh, and deaf : κωφος, Symmachus , and so a MS. The mistake is palpable, and the correction self-evident, and admissible though there had been no authority for it.

‏ Isaiah 42:19

Verse 19. As my messenger that I sent-"As he to whom I have sent my messengers"] kemalachey eshlach, ut ad quem nuncios meos misi. The Vulgate and Chaldee are almost the only interpreters who render it rightly, in consistence with the rest of the sentence, and in perfect agreement with the Hebrew idiom; according to which the ellipsis is to be thus supplied: kelaasher malachey eshlach; "As he to whom I have sent my messengers."

As he that is perfect-"As he who is perfectly instructed"] See Clarke on Isa 44:2.

And blind as the Lord's servant-"And deaf, as the servant of JEHOVAH"] For veivver, and blind, we must read vecheresh, and deaf: κωφος, Symmachus, and so a MS. The mistake is palpable, and the correction self-evident, and admissible though there had been no authority for it.
