And now the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me

The Holy Spirit

“And now the Lord God hath sent Me with His Spirit.

” The Spirit does not send, hut is sent. (Prof. A. B. Davidson, D. D.)

Note the tendency in chaps. 40-66, to treat the Divine Spirit as a separate personality (Isaiah 40:13; Isaiah 63:10; Isaiah 36:11; Isaiah 36:14). (Prof. S. R. Driver, D. D.)

Isaiah 48:16

16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
