Our<\/span> chapter<\/span><\/a> preserves Isaiah\u2019s announcement of the deliverance and glorification of Jerusalem:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The spirit of my Lord, God, is upon me. For the Lord has anointed me...To comfort all who mourn, to provide for the mourners for Zion\u2026And they shall build the ancient ruins, raise up the desolations of old and renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many ages\u201d (<\/span>61:1-4<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The specific expression<\/span> mourners for Zion<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>avelei tzion<\/span><\/a><\/em>) occurs only here in Tanach (compare<\/span> Isaiah 57:18<\/span><\/a>), where it seems to refer in general to those who lament the destruction of Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, this distinctive term underwent a significant development in<\/span> Jewish tradition<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A fragmentary text from Qumran, dated to the 1st century BCE, IIQMelch (column 2, line 20), preserves what seems to be a reference to Isaiah 61:3-4: \u201cTo comfort the mourners for Zion, to instruct them in all the ages of the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In 2 Baruch (<\/span>the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch<\/span><\/a>), which is dated to the 1<\/span>st<\/span> century\u00a0 CE,<\/span> Baruch ben Neriah<\/span><\/a>, the biblical scribe of the Prophet Jeremiah,<\/span> laments<\/span><\/a> the ruins of Jerusalem: <\/span><\/p>\r\n

And I, Baruch, went to the holy place, and sat down upon the ruins and wept, and said that mine eyes were springs, and mine eyelids a fount of tears. For how shall I lament for Zion, and how shall I mourn for Jerusalem?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

According to<\/span> Talmud Bavli Sotah<\/span><\/a> (compare<\/span> Tosefta Sotah<\/span><\/a>) When the Temple was destroyed a second time, ascetics increased among the Jews, whose practice was to not eat meat and to not drink wine. Rabbi Yehoshua joined them to discuss their practice. He said to them, My children, for what reason do you not eat meat and do you not drink wine? They said to him: Shall we eat meat, from which offerings are sacrificed upon the altar, and now the altar has ceased to exist? Shall we drink wine, which is poured as a libation upon the altar, and now the altar has ceased to exist?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Midrash Pesiqta Rabbati<\/span><\/a> preserves a composite homily on an organized group referred to as \u201cThe Mourners for Zion\u201d (see Philip Alexander in<\/span> Midrash Unbound<\/span><\/em><\/a>), which begins: \u201c\u2026All who see them shall recognize that they are a stock the Lord has blessed\u201d (<\/span>Isaiah 61:9<\/span><\/a>). These are the Mourners for Zion who seek salvation evening, morning and noontime, while other Jews scoff at them\u2026until they \u201cshall recognize\u201d that these mourners are accompanied by angels.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The 9<\/span>th<\/span> century Gaonic work<\/span> Halakhot Ketzuvot<\/span><\/a> records a blessing to be said to mourners: May the Lord, our God, comfort the mourners for Zion and the mourners for Jerusalem. And may the mourners who are mourning this loss be comforted in their loss\u2026Blessed are You, O Lord, who comforts the Mourners for Zion and builds Jerusalem\u201d. This blessing is reflected to this day in the words recommended to speak to mourners: \u201d<\/span>May the Omnipresent comfort you among the rest of the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem<\/span><\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":103471,"alt":"","title":"-62420fae7ea4f--62420fae7ea50gen38-grave mourn

A wedding ceremony itself is a wonderous event filled with legal requirements and blessings to go along with the happiness and joy of the young couples. The <\/span>sheva brachot<\/em> <\/span>(\u201c7 blessings\u201d) recited under the chuppah, at the meal, and for a seven-day period carry that joy beyond the wedding day itself. The source for the <\/span>sheva brachot<\/em> <\/span>is Ketubot 7b. Rabbi Yehuda lists the seven blessings that should be recited under the chuppah. The fifth blessing is \u201cMay the barren one (Jerusalem) rejoice greatly and delight in the ingathering of her children within her in joy. Blessed are you Lord who causes Zion to rejoice with her children.\u201d The barren one here is Jerusalem as shown in Isaiah 54:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shout, O barren one, You who bore no child! Shout aloud for joy, You who did not travail! For the children of the wife forlorn shall outnumber those of the espoused \u2014said GOD (54:1)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But the blessing begins with a reference to chapter 61 verse 10:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I greatly rejoice in GOD, my whole being exults in my God\u2014 who has clothed me with garments of triumph, wrapped me in a robe of victory, like a bridegroom adorned with a turban, like a bride bedecked with her finery.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rashi in Ketubot explains that the blessing is part of the <\/span>sheva brachot<\/em> <\/span>because of the need to remember the destruction of Jerusalem even in happy moments. Chapter 54:1, though, is not an entirely depressing verse. Yes, Jerusalem is referred to as a barren woman, but the verse is God\u2019s encouragement to get up and shout for joy. If that verse combines sadness with happiness, why include verse 10 of chapter 61 in the blessing? Verse 10 is most likely included because the verse itself refers to the bridegroom and bride and finishes the story of 54:1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In chapter 54, Jerusalem is told to get up off the floor and start to rejoice because her children are returning. She will no longer be barren. The way that prophecy will come true is through the joyous marriages of the returning exiles in verse 10. Rabbi Yehuda (or whoever composed the blessing) beautifully combines verse 10 with chapter 54:1 to create a hybrid blessing that captures the evolution of the sorrow of Jerusalem leading to the joy of the wedding. In the end, the excitement of the wedding and what it symbolizes- the double rejoicing in the name of God- takes over and will cause Zion to rejoice with her children.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Isaiah is known as the Prophet of Hope. Speaking across the generations to the countless numbers who will endure exile, poverty, bigotry and violence, Isaiah reminds them (and us) that God remains an ally, a companion, and a vindication. Listen in on his stirring words:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

God has sent me as a herald of joy to the humble,<\/span>
\r\n<\/span>To bind up the broken hearted,<\/span>
\r\n<\/span>To proclaim release to the captives,<\/span>
\r\n<\/span>Liberation to the imprisoned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

An orator of unparalleled greatness, Isaiah uses words with surgical precision. He divides the suffering masses he addresses into two broad groups: the humble, and everyone else.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What does it mean to be humble? These are the people who patiently endure whatever suffering comes their way. They don\u2019t harbor expectations of anything better, and accept whatever comes, however it comes. There is both something noble and tragic in such a response to life\u2019s hardships. Surely there is great strength to be found in simply accepting one\u2019s suffering without complaint or struggle. And yet, such a response abandons even the hope of making it better. So Isaiah doesn\u2019t promise action for such people, simply an emotional orientation of joy. They will, thanks to their humility, retain the capacity to rejoice occasionally, even in the midst of their tribulations.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And for the rest of us? Those who complain when assaulted, who hold on to a vision of what could possibly be, of how much better it ought to be? What does Isaiah have for us?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Not an emotion, but a series of actions. For the broken hearted - binding of wounds. For the captives - release. For the imprisoned - liberation. Isaiah\u2019s vision of redemption is one of a changing reality so that it finally accords with God\u2019s vision of a humanity thriving in the healing light of justice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Perhaps, Isaiah is also suggesting that there is a part of our hearts that belongs to the humble, and there is the strength of patience and resilience that can emerge from holding on to such humility. Yet at the same time, a piece of our hearts must cultivate a dissatisfaction and a sense of brokenness. Only then can we come together to channel the divine energy that will bring about true liberation.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":68638,"alt":"","title":"is61-humble","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-200x300.png","medium-width":200,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-683x1024.png","medium_large-width":683,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-683x1024.png","large-width":683,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble.png","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble.png","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-800x1200.png","post_full_size-width":800,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-280x420.png","home_baner-width":280,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"For The Humble, The Broken Hearted And The Captives","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Only by cultivating a sense of brokenness can we bring about true liberation","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":68638,"alt":"","title":"is61-humble","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-200x300.png","medium-width":200,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-683x1024.png","medium_large-width":683,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-683x1024.png","large-width":683,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble.png","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble.png","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-800x1200.png","post_full_size-width":800,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-humble-280x420.png","home_baner-width":280,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Isaiah","chapter":"61","chapter_main_number":"395","date":"20270304","wall_id":"395"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":[{"term_id":"386","name":"Psychology","old_id":"786"},{"term_id":"391","name":"In\/Justice","old_id":"791"},{"term_id":"394","name":"Emotions","old_id":"794"},{"term_id":"451","name":"Hope","old_id":"851"},{"term_id":"643","name":"Humility","old_id":"1043"}]},{"order":5,"id":"68643","color":"#e2f4fa","size":"1","name":"He Inspired and Comforted Generations\u00a0 ","post_title":"He Inspired and Comforted Generations\u00a0","slug":"he-inspired-and-comforted-generations","old_id":"68643","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":64758,"post_title":"Avraham Norin","slug":"avraham-norin","old_id":"64758","first_name":"Avraham ","last_name":"Norin ","description":"Avraham Norin teaches in Israel at the Machon Meir and Ora conversion program.

Hezekiah and his colleagues wrote the book of Isaiah (Talmud Bavli, Baba Batra 15a)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Talmud informs us that the book of Isaiah was written\u00a0 by people other than Isaiah. Rashi explains that King Menashe executed Isaiah before he could write down his own prophecies. Amos Hacham finds evidence that one of Isaiah's disciples was involved in the writing process of the book. For example in chapter eight,\u00a0 Isaiah has a prophecy of consolation for a future generation which was not applicable to his time and therefore Isaiah commands to \u201cbind<\/span> up the testimony, seal the instruction among my <\/span>disciples<\/b>\u201d (8:16).\u00a0 We see that in a later generation, a disciple of the prophet took it upon himself to teach the message of comfort that Isaiah had sealed up. This discipline testifies to his actions in chapter 50 \u201c<\/span>The Lord God gave me a <\/span>disciple\u2019s<\/b> tongue to know how to speak timely words to the weary. Morning by morning, He rouses, He rouses my ear to give heed like <\/span>disciples<\/b> (50:1).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The phrase \u201cThe Lord God\u201d frequently appears in this testimony of the disciple (50: 4, 5, 7, and 9). This allows us to identify other times when this disciple added comments to the book of Isaiah. For example, in 25:8, a prayer is added as an appendix to Isaiah's words of comfort, \u201c<\/span>My <\/span>Lord GOD<\/b> will wipe the tears away from all faces and will put an end to the reproach of His people over all the earth<\/span>\". Similarly in 40:10, words of joy were written down upon seeing the fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy \u201c<\/span>Behold, the <\/span>Lord GOD<\/b> comes in might and his arm wins triumph for him!\".<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The phrase \"The Lord God\" also appears in chapter 61 in the final speech of the disciple, followed by a summary of the goals of the book of Isaiah: \"<\/span>The spirit of the <\/span>Lord GOD<\/b> is upon me because the LORD has anointed me. He has sent me as a herald of joy to the humble, to bind up the wounded of heart, to proclaim release to the captives, liberation to the imprisoned, to proclaim a year of the LORD\u2019s favor and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn, to provide for the mourners in Zion<\/span>\" (61: 1-3). These words reveal to us the understanding of the disciple of his mission to collect, edit and publish all of Isaiah's writings. By writing down the prophecies of Isaiah, the disciple himself rose to spiritual heights which enabled his words of praise and prayer to be incorporated into\u00a0 Isaiah's prophecies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We certainly owe this disciple of Isaiah a huge debt of gratitude. He taught the comforting words of Isaiah to the broken generation of destruction. He transcribed the words of Isaiah, allowing all future generations to be inspired by them. Moreover, he explained to us the dedication that he had for this task and the tremendous efforts he made to spread the teachings of Isaiah to the general public.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":68646,"alt":"","title":"is61-footsteps","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps.jpg","width":1484,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-232x300.jpg","medium-width":232,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-768x994.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":994,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-791x1024.jpg","large-width":791,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps.jpg","1536x1536-width":1187,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps.jpg","2048x2048-width":1484,"2048x2048-height":1920,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-928x1200.jpg","post_full_size-width":928,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-325x420.jpg","home_baner-width":325,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"He Inspired and Comforted Generations\u00a0","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"But was it him - or his disciples?","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":68646,"alt":"","title":"is61-footsteps","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps.jpg","width":1484,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-232x300.jpg","medium-width":232,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-768x994.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":994,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-791x1024.jpg","large-width":791,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps.jpg","1536x1536-width":1187,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps.jpg","2048x2048-width":1484,"2048x2048-height":1920,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-928x1200.jpg","post_full_size-width":928,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-footsteps-325x420.jpg","home_baner-width":325,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Isaiah","chapter":"61","chapter_main_number":"395","date":"20270304","wall_id":"395"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":[{"term_id":"622","name":"Criticism","old_id":"1022"},{"term_id":"627","name":"Talmud","old_id":"1027"},{"term_id":"684","name":"Authority","old_id":"1084"},{"term_id":"940","name":"Isaiah","old_id":"1340"}]},{"order":6,"id":"68640","color":"#e2f4fa","size":"1","name":"Remember: Always Pay The Tolls!

The story is told of a Jew who went to synagogue, and who had the honor of reading there the <\/span>haftarah<\/span><\/i> from the prophets. That day the reading was from Isaiah 61, so the Jew read: \u201cThe spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.\u201d When he finished reading, he rolled up the scroll and told the others in the synagogue: \u201cToday, this has been fulfilled\u201d \u2013 and pointed to himself.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This story is told, to be specific, in Luke 4, and the Jew, of course, is Jesus. The people of Nazareth, where this took place, were not amused, leading Jesus to comment sardonically, \u201cA prophet is never accepted in his hometown.\u201d Then the people tried to push him off a cliff, but he escaped.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In its original context, the beginning of our chapter is more uplifting than provocative. It alludes to Leviticus 25 in saying that the prophet\u2019s goal is \u201cto proclaim liberty (<\/span>deror<\/span><\/i>) to those in captivity.\u201d One other important lesson comes later in the chapter: \u201cFor I the Lord love justice, I hate robbery with a burnt offering.\u201d This verse serves as the basis for a parable given by a different famous ancient Jew, Rabbi Shimon bar Yo\u1e25ai (<\/span>quoted in Sukkah 30a<\/span><\/a>):<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A parable of a flesh-and-blood king who was passing by a customs house. He said to his servants: \u201cPay the toll to the toll collectors.\u201d They said to him: \u201cDoesn\u2019t all the toll belong to you?\u201d He said to them: \u201cFrom my conduct, all travelers will learn and will not evade payment of the toll.\u201d So too, the Holy One, Blessed be He, said: \u201cI the Lord... hate robbery in a burnt-offering.\u201d [Even though all the sacrifices are his anyway], God says, \u201cFrom me my children will learn and distance themselves from robbery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":68641,"alt":"","title":"is61-toll-booth","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth.jpg","width":700,"height":490,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth-300x210.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":210,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth.jpg","medium_large-width":700,"medium_large-height":490,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth.jpg","large-width":700,"large-height":490,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth.jpg","1536x1536-width":700,"1536x1536-height":490,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth.jpg","2048x2048-width":700,"2048x2048-height":490,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth.jpg","post_full_size-width":700,"post_full_size-height":490,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/is61-toll-booth-600x420.jpg","home_baner-width":600,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"Remember: Always Pay The Tolls!","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"(and p.s. -

Throughout the Book of Isaiah, we have highlighted Malbim\u2019s propensity for drawing distinctions between ostensible synonyms. Some were shared by other exegetes, but most were not. One distinction that is well-nigh unanimous, however, is between the two most frequent names of God, which Jewish tradition has long associated with two distinct divine attributes: justice (<\/span>Elohim<\/span><\/i>) and compassion (<\/span>Adon<\/span><\/i>). This distinction is maintained in v. 10: \u201cI greatly rejoice in the LORD (<\/span>Adon<\/span><\/i>) , my whole being exults in my God (<\/span>Elohim<\/span><\/i>). For He has clothed me with garments of triumph, wrapped me in a robe of victory, like a bridegroom adorned with a turban, like a bride bedecked with her finery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Radak cited this very distinction in the name of his father, Yosef, and Malbim*, too, utilized it, albeit in his characteristically unique way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rejoicing is an external activity that indicates happiness\u2026 while exultation is the innermost joy over receiving an unanticipated favor. There is also a distinction between \u201cthe Lord\u201d and \u201cmy God,\u201d with the latter signifying His special providence. [Isaiah] said \u201cI shall rejoice\u201d out in the open in the Lord Who created all, and I shall \u201cexult\u201d a new inner joy as it is revealed to me that He is also my God whose providence extends to me, individually.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The garments and robes mentioned in the verse also attracted Malbim\u2019s discernment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A person\u2019s inner \u201cgarment\u201d is tailored to his dimensions, while a \u201crobe\u201d is worn above his clothing and is not individually tailored. This indicates [A] that God will dress me in a salvation that is tailored to my dimensions and will be personal and individual. [B] Apart from the salvation He will provide me, all the nations will recognize my righteousness. Thereby, they will recognize the true religion and belief, idolaters will abandon their idols, and thereby I will be \u201cwrapped in a robe of victory\u201d \u2026 that will make my righteousness visible to all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This last distinction, between inner and outer appearance, is like the one conveyed earlier between rejoicing and exultation\u2014inner joy and its outward expression\u2014and the concomitant inference that one exults over an unanticipated favor. The Sages, too, distinguished between salvation that comes on schedule and that which is unanticipated. Indeed, they derive it from the final verse in the previous chapter: \u201cI the LORD will speed it in due time\u201d (61:22). If we merit salvation\u2014it will be hastened; otherwise, it will come, eventually, as scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

61:1 \u201cThe LORD\u2019s spirit is upon me as the LORD has anointed me to bring good tidings to the poor, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom to the captives, to the prisoners, release\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The first verb and noun here echo the language concerning the jubilee year in Leviticus 25:10, where Israelite slaves were restored to freedom. Efforts to link these lines with specific conditions in the fifth-century Judahite community are, however, no more than conjectures. Captivity is a recurrent poetic image for all sorts of states of subjugation, including its frequent use in chapters 40-55 as a metaphor for exile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
