It reflects the deep connection between God and Israel, where their suffering becomes His own. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus Christ is described as a High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses (<a href="/hebrews/4-15.htm">Hebrews 4:15</a>). The idea of God being afflicted alongside His people can also be seen in the narrative of the Exodus, where God hears the cries of the Israelites and is moved to act on their behalf (<a href="/exodus/3-7.htm">Exodus 3:7-8</a>).and the Angel of His Presence saved them The "Angel of His Presence" is often understood as a theophany, a manifestation of God Himself, or a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. This angel is not merely a messenger but represents God's immediate presence and power. In <a href="/exodus/23-20.htm">Exodus 23:20-23</a>, God promises to send an angel to guard and lead the Israelites, which is seen as a direct intervention of God in their deliverance. This angelic figure is also associated with the divine presence in the wilderness, guiding and protecting the Israelites.In His love and compassion He redeemed them God's actions are motivated by His love and compassion, central attributes of His character. Redemption here refers to the deliverance from bondage, particularly the Exodus from Egypt, which is a foundational event in Israel's history. This act of redemption is a type of the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ, who delivers humanity from the bondage of sin (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>). The language of love and compassion underscores the personal and relational nature of God's salvation.He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old This imagery of God lifting and carrying His people evokes the care and protection He provided throughout their history, especially during the Exodus and the wilderness wanderings. <a href="/deuteronomy/1-31.htm">Deuteronomy 1:31</a> describes God carrying Israel as a father carries his son, emphasizing His nurturing and sustaining role. This phrase also points to God's faithfulness and enduring commitment to His covenant people, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament and finds its fulfillment in the New Testament through Christ's sacrificial love and ongoing intercession for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> The chosen people of God, often experiencing distress and needing deliverance. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_angel_of_his_presence.htm">The Angel of His Presence</a> A divine figure representing God's immediate presence and intervention. 3. <a href="/topical/g/god's_love_and_compassion.htm">God's Love and Compassion</a> Attributes of God that motivate His actions towards His people. 4. <a href="/topical/r/redemption.htm">Redemption</a> The act of God saving His people from their afflictions. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_days_of_old.htm">The Days of Old</a> Refers to the historical acts of God in delivering Israel, such as the Exodus.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_empathy_with_our_suffering.htm">God's Empathy with Our Suffering</a> God is not distant in our distress; He shares in our afflictions, demonstrating His deep empathy and understanding. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_divine_presence.htm">The Role of Divine Presence</a> The "Angel of His Presence" signifies God's active involvement in our lives, offering guidance and salvation. <a href="/topical/t/the_motivation_of_love_and_compassion.htm">The Motivation of Love and Compassion</a> God's actions are driven by His love and compassion, reminding us of His unwavering commitment to our well-being. <a href="/topical/h/historical_faithfulness_as_a_foundation_for_trust.htm">Historical Faithfulness as a Foundation for Trust</a> Reflecting on "the days of old" encourages us to trust in God's consistent faithfulness throughout history. <a href="/topical/r/redemption_as_a_continuous_process.htm">Redemption as a Continuous Process</a> God's redemption is not a one-time event but a continuous process of lifting and carrying us through life's challenges.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_isaiah_63.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 63</a> <a href="/q/why_create_satan_if_god_knew.htm">Why create Satan if God knew he'd rebel?</a> <a href="/q/is_satan_loved_by_god.htm">Is Satan loved by God?</a> <a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_isaiah_63's_violence.htm">Isaiah 63:7–9 speaks of God’s lovingkindness and mercy; how can this be harmonized with the violent imagery earlier in the chapter? </a> <a href="/q/isaiah_46_9__how_is_'no_other_god'_true.htm">Isaiah 46:9: How can we reconcile the claim that there is 'no other God' with the clear presence and worship of many deities in ancient Near Eastern culture?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/63.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) In all their affliction . . .--Literally, there was affliction to Him. So taken, the words speak of a compassion like that of <a href="/judges/10-16.htm" title="And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.">Judges 10:16</a>. The Hebrew text gives, In all their affliction there was no affliction: i.e., it was as nothing compared with the salvation which came from Jehovah. The Authorised Version follows the K?ri, or marginal reading of the Hebrew. It may be inferred, from the strange rendering of both clauses in the LXX. ("neither a messenger, nor an angel, but He himself saved them "), that the variation in the text existed at an early date, and was a source of perplexity, and therefore of conjectural emendation.The angel of his presence . . .--Literally, the angel of His face. As in <a href="/context/exodus/23-20.htm" title="Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.">Exodus 23:20-23</a>; <a href="/exodus/32-34.htm" title="Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you: behold, my Angel shall go before you: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin on them.">Exodus 32:34</a>; <a href="/exodus/33-2.htm" title="And I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:">Exodus 33:2</a>, so here, Jehovah is thought of as working out His purpose of deliverance for Israel through the mediation of an angel, who is thus described either as revealing the highest attributes of God, of which the "face" is the anthropomorphic symbol, or as standing ever in the immediate presence of the King of kings, ready for any mission.He bare them . . .--The same image of fatherly care meets us in <a href="/isaiah/46-3.htm" title="Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:">Isaiah 46:3</a>, <a href="/exodus/19-4.htm" title="You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.">Exodus 19:4</a>, <a href="/deuteronomy/1-31.htm" title="And in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came into this place.">Deuteronomy 1:31</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/32-11.htm" title="As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:">Deuteronomy 32:11</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/63.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 9. - In all their affliction he was afflicted. The "affliction" of Israel began in Egypt (<a href="/genesis/15-13.htm">Genesis 15:13</a>), probably not long after the death of Joseph. It became an intense oppression, when the king "arose who knew not Joseph" (<a href="/exodus/1-8.htm">Exodus 1:8</a>). God's sympathy with Israel's sufferings at this time is strongly marked in the narrative of Exodus (<a href="/exodus/2-23.htm">Exodus 2:23, 24</a>; <a href="/exodus/3-7.htm">Exodus 3:7, 17</a>). An alternative reading of the Hebrew text gives the sense, "In all their affliction he was not an adversary;" i.e. he did not afflict them for their hurt, but for their benefit. But the reading followed by our translators, and most moderns, is to be preferred. The angel of his presence saved them. "The angel of his presence" occurs nowhere but in this place. It is probably equivalent to "the angel of God" (<a href="/exodus/14-19.htm">Exodus 14:19</a>; <a href="/judges/15-6.htm">Judges 15:6</a>; <a href="/acts/27-23.htm">Acts 27:23</a>), or "the angel of the Lord" (<a href="/genesis/16-7.htm">Genesis 16:7</a>; <a href="/numbers/22-23.htm">Numbers 22:23</a>; <a href="/judges/13-3.htm">Judges 13:3</a>, etc.), and designates either the Second Person of the Trinity, or the highest of the angelic company, who seems to be the archangel Michael (see Pussy's 'Daniel,' pp. 525, 526). (For the angelic interpositions which "saved" Israel, see <a href="/exodus/14-19.htm">Exodus 14:19</a>; <a href="/judges/6-11.htm">Judges 6:11-23</a>; <a href="/judges/13-3.htm">Judges 13:3-21</a>; <a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35</a>, etc.) In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. The "redemption" of this passage is probably that from the bondage of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/6-6.htm">Exodus 6:6</a>; <a href="/exodus/15-13.htm">Exodus 15:13</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/7-8.htm">Deuteronomy 7:8</a>, etc.), which belonged to "the days of old" - not the spiritual redemption from the bondage of sin, which was reserved for the time of the Messiah. Having "redeemed" them, i.e. delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and thereby, as it were, purchased them to be his own, he bare them - "Carried them on eagles' wings" (<a href="/exodus/19-4.htm">Exodus 19:4</a>), and brought them safely through the wilderness to Palestine (comp. <a href="/deuteronomy/32-10.htm">Deuteronomy 32:10-12</a>). <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/63-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In all בְּֽכָל־ (bə·ḵāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every their distress, צָרָתָ֣ם ׀ (ṣā·rā·ṯām) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6869.htm">Strong's 6869: </a> Tightness, a female rival He too was afflicted, צָ֗ר (ṣār) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6862.htm">Strong's 6862: </a> Narrow, a tight place, a pebble, an opponent and the Angel וּמַלְאַ֤ךְ (ū·mal·’aḵ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4397.htm">Strong's 4397: </a> A messenger, of God, an angel of His Presence פָּנָיו֙ (pā·nāw) Noun - common plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face saved them. הֽוֹשִׁיעָ֔ם (hō·wō·šî·‘ām) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3467.htm">Strong's 3467: </a> To be open, wide, free, to be safe, to free, succor In His love בְּאַהֲבָת֥וֹ (bə·’a·hă·ḇā·ṯōw) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_160.htm">Strong's 160: </a> Love (noun) and compassion וּבְחֶמְלָת֖וֹ (ū·ḇə·ḥem·lā·ṯōw) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2551.htm">Strong's 2551: </a> Compassion, mercy He ה֣וּא (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are redeemed them;
