Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(42) The fear of Isaac--That is, the object of Isaac's worship. The reason given by the Jewish Commentators for this remarkable way of describing the Deity whom Isaac served is that, as his father was still alive, Jacob would have been wanting in reverence, if he had spoken of God as "Isaac's God," even though Jehovah had condescended so to call Himself (Genesis 28:13).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewIf the Godאֱלֹהֵ֣י (’ĕ·lō·hê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeof my father,אָבִי֩ (’ā·ḇî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 1: Fatherthe Godאֱלֹהֵ֨י (’ĕ·lō·hê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeof Abrahamאַבְרָהָ֜ם (’aḇ·rā·hām)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 85: Abraham -- 'exalted father', the father of the Jewish nationand the One Fearedוּפַ֤חַד (ū·p̄a·ḥaḏ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 6343: A, alarmby Isaac,יִצְחָק֙ (yiṣ·ḥāq)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3327: Isaac -- 'he laughs', son of Abraham and Sarahhad notלוּלֵ֡י (lū·lê)ConjunctionStrong's 3884: If not, unlessbeen with me,הָ֣יָה (hā·yāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, besurelyכִּ֥י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionby nowעַתָּ֖ה (‘at·tāh)AdverbStrong's 6258: At this timeyou would have sent me awayשִׁלַּחְתָּ֑נִי (šil·laḥ·tā·nî)Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine singular | first person common singularStrong's 7971: To send away, for, outempty-handed.רֵיקָ֣ם (rê·qām)AdverbStrong's 7387: Emptily, ineffectually, undeservedlyBut Godאֱלֹהִ֖ים (’ĕ·lō·hîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativehas seenרָאָ֥ה (rā·’āh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7200: To seemy afflictionעָנְיִ֞י (‘ā·nə·yî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 6040: Affliction, povertyand the toilיְגִ֧יעַ (yə·ḡî·a‘)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3018: Toil, a work, produce, propertyof my hands,כַּפַּ֛י (kap·pay)Noun - fdc | first person common singularStrong's 3709: Hollow or flat of the hand, palm, sole (of the foot), a panand last nightאָֽמֶשׁ׃ (’ā·meš)AdverbStrong's 570: Yesterday, last nightHe rendered judgment.”וַיּ֥וֹכַח (way·yō·w·ḵaḥ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3198: To be right, reciprocal, to argue, to decide, justify, convictJump to PreviousAbraham Affliction Empty Empty-Handed Except Fear Hadst Hands Isaac Judgment Labor Night Rebuked Rendered Side Surely Toil Unless Yesternight
