Isaiah 63:14 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The valley — A laden beast goeth warily and gently down the hill. Rest — Led them easily, that they should not be over — travelled, or fall down, through weariness; thus Jeremiah expresses it, Jeremiah 31:2, and thus God gave them rest from their enemies, drowning them in the sea, and in their safe conduct, that they could not annoy or disturb them, leading them 'till he found them a place for resting; the word for leading, and resting, being much of a like notion, Zechariah 10:6, pointing at their several rests by the way, Numbers 10:33, or it may be read by way of interrogation, as all the foregoing words, and be the close of that enquiry, And where is the spirit, that caused then to rest? Or, he led them to Canaan the place of their rest.

Isaiah 63:14

14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
