فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَدْرِنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ أَبُونَا، وَلِيُّنَا مُنْذُ الأَبَدِ اسْمُكَ.

The prayer for help, and the lamentation over its absence, are now justified in Isa 63:16 : "For Thou art our Father; for Abraham is ignorant of us, and Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer is from olden time Thy name." Jehovah is Israel's Father (Deu 32:6). His creative might, and the gracious counsels of His love, have called it into being: אבינוּ has not yet the deep and unrestricted sense of the New Testament "Our Father." The second kı̄ introduces the reason for this confession that Jehovah was Israel's Father, and could therefore look for paternal care and help from Him alone. Even the dearest and most honourable men, the forefathers of the nation, could not help it. Abraham and Jacob-Israel had been taken away from this world, and were unable to interfere on their own account in the history of their people. ידע and הכּיר suggest the idea of participating notice and regard, as in Deu 33:9 and Rut 2:10, Rut 2:19. יכּירנוּ has the vowel â (pausal for a, Isa 56:3) in the place of ē, to rhyme with ידענוּ (see Ges. 60, Anm. 2). In the concluding clause, according to the accents, מעולם גּאלנוּ are connected together; but the more correct accentuation is גאלנו tiphchah, מעולם mercha, and we have rendered it so. From the very earliest time the acts of Jehovah towards Israel had been such that Israel could call Him גאלנו.
افتح المصدر ↗In this chapter we have, I. God coming towards his people in ways of mercy and deliverance, and this is to be joined to the close of the foregoing chapter, where it was said to Zion, "Behold, thy salvation comes;" for here it is shown how it comes (Isa 63:1-6). II. God's people meeting him with their devotions, and addressing themselves to him with suitable affections; and this part of the chapter is carried on to the close of the next. In this we have, 1. A thankful acknowledgment of the great favours God had bestowed upon them (Isa 63:7). 2. The magnifying of these favours, from the consideration of God's relation to them (Isa 63:8), his compassionate concern for them (Isa 63:9), their unworthiness (Isa 63:10), and the occasion which it gave both him and them to call to mind former mercies (Isa 63:11-14). 3. A very humble and earnest prayer to God to appear for them in their present distress, pleading God's mercy (Isa 63:15), their relation to him (Isa 63:16), their desire towards him (Isa 63:17), and the insolence of their enemies (Isa 63:18, Isa 63:19). So that, upon the whole, we learn to embrace God's promises with an active faith, and then to improve them, and make use of them, both in prayers and praises.

وَالآنَ يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا. نَحْنُ الطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ جَابِلُنَا، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.
أَلَيْسَ أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ لِكُلِّنَا؟ أَلَيْسَ إِلهٌ وَاحِدٌ خَلَقَنَا؟ فَلِمَ نَغْدُرُ الرَّجُلُ بِأَخِيهِ لِتَدْنِيسِ عَهْدِ آبَائِنَا؟
ألْرَّبَّ تُكَافِئُونَ بِهذَا يَا شَعْبًا غَبِيًّا غَيْرَ حَكِيمٍ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ أَبَاكَ وَمُقْتَنِيَكَ، هُوَ عَمِلَكَ وَأَنْشَأَكَ؟
وَأَنَا قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ أَضَعُكِ بَيْنَ الْبَنِينَ، وَأُعْطِيكِ أَرْضًا شَهِيَّةً، مِيرَاثَ مَجْدِ أَمْجَادِ الأُمَمِ؟ وَقُلْتُ: تَدْعِينَنِي يَا أَبِي، وَمِنْ وَرَائِي لاَ تَرْجِعِينَ.
هكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفَادِيهِ، رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: «أَنَا الأَوَّلُ وَأَنَا الآخِرُ، وَلاَ إِلهَ غَيْرِي.
«الابْنُ يُكْرِمُ أَبَاهُ، وَالْعَبْدُ يُكْرِمُ سَيِّدَهُ. فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَبًا، فَأَيْنَ كَرَامَتِي؟ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ سَيِّدًا، فَأَيْنَ هَيْبَتِي؟ قَالَ لَكُمْ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. أَيُّهَا الْكَهَنَةُ الْمُحْتَقِرُونَ اسْمِي. وَتَقُولُونَ: بِمَ احْتَقَرْنَا اسْمَكَ؟
«لاَ تَخَفْ يَا دُودَةَ يَعْقُوبَ، يَا شِرْذِمَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنَا أُعِينُكَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَفَادِيكَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
يُكْرَمُ بَنُوهُ وَلاَ يَعْلَمُ، أَوْ يَصْغِرُونَ وَلاَ يَفْهَمُ بِهِمْ.
وَبَارَكَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ أَمَامَ كُلِّ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَقَالَ دَاودُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبِينَا مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.
بِالْبُكَاءِ يَأْتُونَ، وَبِالتَّضَرُّعَاتِ أَقُودُهُمْ. أُسَيِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَنْهَارِ مَاءٍ فِي طَرِيق مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ لاَ يَعْثُرُونَ فِيهَا. لأَنِّي صِرْتُ لإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبًا، وَأَفْرَايِمُ هُوَ بِكْرِي.
