The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. This introduction assures the listener that the message is not of human origin but is a direct communication from God Himself.your Redeemer The term "Redeemer" in Hebrew is "go'el," which refers to a kinsman-redeemer, a family member who restores the rights of another and avenges wrongs. In the context of Israel, God is portrayed as the one who will rescue and restore His people from their captivity and oppression. This reflects the deep, personal relationship God has with His people, akin to a family bond.the Holy One of Israel This title emphasizes God's purity, separateness, and moral perfection. "Holy" in Hebrew is "qadosh," indicating something set apart for a special purpose. As the Holy One of Israel, God is both transcendent and immanent, uniquely involved with His chosen people, Israel, and committed to their sanctification and redemption.For your sake This phrase highlights God's motivation for action—His love and commitment to His people. It underscores the personal and collective interest God has in the welfare of Israel. The actions He takes are not arbitrary but are deeply rooted in His covenantal love and purpose for His people.I will send to Babylon Babylon, in this context, represents the oppressor and captor of Israel. Historically, Babylon was a powerful empire that conquered Judah and took its people into exile. God's promise to "send to Babylon" indicates His intention to intervene directly in the affairs of nations to bring about His purposes for Israel's deliverance.and bring down all their bars The "bars" symbolize the strength and security of Babylon, likely referring to the gates and defenses of the city. God's promise to "bring down" these bars signifies His power to overcome any obstacle or stronghold that stands against His people. It is a declaration of His sovereignty over all earthly powers.and the Chaldeans The Chaldeans were a dominant ethnic group within Babylon, known for their influence and power. Mentioning them specifically highlights the comprehensive nature of God's judgment against Babylon. It serves as a reminder that no group, regardless of their might, can withstand the purposes of God.will cry out in their ships This imagery of the Chaldeans crying out in their ships suggests a scene of panic and defeat. Ships were symbols of commerce and military power, and the Chaldeans' cry indicates the collapse of their economic and military might. It portrays the totality of God's victory over those who oppose His people, ensuring that His plans for Israel's restoration will be fulfilled.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/43.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) I have sent to Babylon.--For the first time in 2 Isaiah, the place of exile is named. For "have brought down all their nobles" read, I will bring them all down as fugitives. The marginal "bars" represents a various reading, defences, in the sense of defenders.The Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.--Better, into the ships of their shouting--i.e., the ships which used to echo with the exulting joy of sailors. The word for "shouting" is purposely chosen to suggest the thought that there will be a shout of another kind, even the wailing cry of despair. The commerce of Babylon, and its position on the Euphrates, made it, as it were, the Venice of the earlier East (Herod., 1:194). The prophet sees the inhabitants of Babylon fleeing in their ships from the presence of their conqueror.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/43.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 14-21. - A DECLARATION AGAINST BABYLON, AND A PROMISE OF ISRAEL'S RESTORATION. Having wound up the preceding "controversy" with a reference to his own power to work great results (ver. 13), Jehovah now brings forward two examples - the discomfiture of Babylon (vers. 14, 15), and the recovery and restoration of Israel (vers. 16-21), both of which he is about to accomplish. Verse 14. - For your sake I have sent to Babylon. For Israel's sake God has already, in his counsels, sent to Babylon the instruments of his vengeance - Cyrus and his soldiers - and by their instrumentality has brought down all their nobles; or rather, has brought them all down (to be fugitives (comp. <a href="/isaiah/15-5.htm">Isaiah 15:5</a>); and the Chaldeans; or, even the Chaldeans. The Chaldeans are not in Isaiah, as in Daniel (<a href="/daniel/2-2.htm">Daniel 2:2</a>; <a href="/daniel/4-7.htm">Daniel 4:7</a>; <a href="/daniel/5-7.htm">Daniel 5:7</a>), a special class of Babylonians, but, as elsewhere commonly in Scripture, the Babylonians generally (see Isaiah 12:19; 47:1). In the native inscriptions the term is especially applied to the inhabitants of the tract upon the sea-coast. Whose cry is in the ships; rather, into their ships of wailing. The Chaldeans, flying from the Persian attack, betake themselves to their ships with cries of grief, the ships thereby becoming "ships of wailing." The nautical character of the Babylonians is strongly marked in the inscriptions, where "the ships of Ur are celebrated at a very remote period, and the native kings, when hard pressed by the Assyrians, are constantly represented as going on ship-board, and crossing the Persian Gulf to Susiana, or to some of the islands (see 'Records of the Past,' vol. 1. pp. 40, 43, 73; vol. 7. p. 63; vol. 9. p. 60). The abundant traffic and the numerous merchants of Babylon are mentioned by Ezekiel (<a href="/ezekiel/17-4.htm">Ezekiel 17:4</a>). AEsehylus, moreover, notes that the Babylonians of his day were "navigators of ships" ('Persae,' 11. 52-55). <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/43-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Thus כֹּֽה־ (kōh-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now says אָמַ֧ר (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say the LORD יְהוָ֛ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel your Redeemer, גֹּאַלְכֶ֖ם (gō·’al·ḵem) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1350.htm">Strong's 1350: </a> To redeem, act as kinsman the Holy קְד֣וֹשׁ (qə·ḏō·wōš) Adjective - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6918.htm">Strong's 6918: </a> Sacred, God, an angel, a saint, a sanctuary One of Israel: יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc “For your sake, לְמַעַנְכֶ֞ם (lə·ma·‘an·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4616.htm">Strong's 4616: </a> Purpose -- intent I will send שִׁלַּ֣חְתִּי (šil·laḥ·tî) Verb - Piel - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7971.htm">Strong's 7971: </a> To send away, for, out to Babylon בָבֶ֗לָה (ḇā·ḇe·lāh) Noun - proper - feminine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_894.htm">Strong's 894: </a> Babylon -- an eastern Mediterranean empire and its capital city and bring וְהוֹרַדְתִּ֤י (wə·hō·w·raḏ·tî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3381.htm">Strong's 3381: </a> To come or go down, descend them all כֻּלָּ֔ם (kul·lām) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every as fugitives, בָֽרִיחִים֙ (ḇā·rî·ḥîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1281.htm">Strong's 1281: </a> A fugitive, the serpent even the Chaldeans, וְכַשְׂדִּ֖ים (wə·ḵaś·dîm) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3778.htm">Strong's 3778: </a> Chaldeans -- a region of southern Babylon and its inhab in the ships בָּאֳנִיּ֥וֹת (bā·’o·nî·yō·wṯ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_591.htm">Strong's 591: </a> A ship in which they rejoice. רִנָּתָֽם׃ (rin·nā·ṯām) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7440.htm">Strong's 7440: </a> A creaking, shout <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/43-14.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 43:14 Thus says Yahweh your Redeemer the Holy (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/43-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 43:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/43-15.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 43:15"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:15" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
