Isaiah 63:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest - image from a herd led "down" from the hills to a fertile and well-watered "valley" (Psalms 23:2); so God's Spirit 'caused Israel to rest' in the premised land after their weary wanderings.

To make thyself a glorious name - (so Isaiah 63:12; 2 Samuel 7:23.)
