Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb,.... Which is not to be understood of the forming of the people of Israel into a commonwealth or church state, for this is not said of the body of them; nor of the natural creation and formation of these individuals, but of their new creation, regeneration, and spiritual formation; which, as it was owing to the grace and power of God, by which the Lord describes himself, who is speaking to them, the consideration of it might serve to encourage their faith and confidence in the performance of the promises about to be made to them; see
Psalms 100:3: which "will help thee"; in the exercise of grace, in the performance of duty, in suffering for his name's sake in every time of trouble, and out of all trouble, and that right early, and when none else can:
fear not, O Jacob, my servant, and thou Jesurun, whom I have chosen; the titles are as before, only instead of "Israel" is "Jesurun", which is a name of the people of Israel, Deuteronomy 32:15 and here the Targum instead of it puts Israel; and so the Syriac and Arabic versions. The Septuagint version renders it, "beloved Israel"; the word signifies upright; and so the Vulgate Latin version translates it, "O thou most upright one" w; and well agrees with this little remnant of Israelites indeed, in whom there was no guile. Some derive the word from one that signifies to "see", "behold", "contemplate" x; and so it may be rendered, "the seeing ones whom I have chosen", such whose eyes the Lord opened to see their own vileness and sinfulness, and the glory of Christ and salvation by him: these are bid not to fear: not any of their enemies, though they themselves were but worms; and though their number was small, and they weak and feeble, and their enemies numerous, strong, and mighty; and though their countrymen would reproach, revile, and persecute them for Christ's sake, and they should be obliged to turn to the Gentiles, and carry the Gospel among them, when those of their nation would reject it, which would issue in the ruin of it, as before predicted; see Isaiah 41:10.
w ××שר×× "et rectissime", V. L. a ×שר "rectum fuit, Forerius"; so Ben Melech says, that Israel is called Jeshurun, because he is upright among the people. x A ש×ר "contemplari, respicere".
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord that made thee - (See the note at Isaiah 43:1).
And formed thee from the womb - This is equivalent to the declaration that he was their Maker, or Creator. It means, that from the very beginning of their history as a people, he had formed and moulded all their institutions, and directed all things in regard to them - as much as he is the former of the body from the commencement of its existence. It may be observed that the words, âfrom the womb,â are joined by some interpreters with the phrase, âthat formed thee,â meaning, that he had been the originator of all their customs, privileges, and laws, from the beginning of their history; and by others with the phrase, âwill help thee,â meaning, that from the commencement of their existence as a nation, he had been their helper. According to the Masoretic marks of distinction, the former is the true sense. So the Septuagint, Aben Ezra, Kimchi, Lowth, etc.; but Jerome, Luther, and some others, prefer the latter mode.
Fear not - (See the note at Isaiah 41:10). Though you have sinned as a people Isaiah 43:23-24, Isaiah 43:27, and though all these heavy judgments have come upon you Isaiah 43:28, yet you have no reason to fear that God will finally abandon and destroy you.
And thou Jeshurun - (××ש×ר×Ö¼× vayeshuruÌn). This word occurs but four times in the Bible, as a poetical name for the people of Israel, apparently expressing affection and tenderness (Deuteronomy 32:15; Deuteronomy 33:5, Deuteronomy 33:26; and in this place). It is, says Gesenius (Commentary in loc.), âa flattering appellation (schmeichelwort) for Israel,â and is probably a diminutive from ×ש××ר yaÌshuÌr = ×ש×ר yaÌshaÌr, the passive form in an intransitive verb with an active signification. The ending ×× oÌn, he adds, is terminatio charitiva - a termination indicating affection, or kindness. In his Lexicon, he observes, however (as translated by Robinson), that âit seems not improbable that it was a diminutive form of the name ×ש×ר×× yıÌs'raÌ'eÌl, which was current in common life for the fuller form ×ש×××××Ö¼× yıÌs'raÌ'eÌluÌn, title of affection for Israel, but, like other common words of this sort, contracted, and more freely inflected, so as at the same time to imply an allusion to the signification of right or uprightness, contained in the root ×ש×ר yaÌshar.â Jerome renders it, Rectissime - âMost upright.â The Septuagint renders it, ÎÌγαÏημεÌÎ½Î¿Ï ÎÌÏÏαηÌλ EÌgapeÌmenos IsraeÌl - âBeloved Israel.â The Syriac renders it, âIsrael.â So also the Chaldee. It is, doubtless, a title of affection, and probably includes the notion of uprightness, or integrity.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 44:2. Jesurun — Jeshurun means Israel. This name was given to that people by Moses, Deuteronomy 32:15; Deuteronomy 33:5, Deuteronomy 33:26. The most probable account of it seems to be that in which the Jewish commentators agree; namely, that it is derived from ×שר yashar, and signifies upright. In the same manner, Israel, as a people, is called ×ש×× meshullam, perfect, Isaiah 42:19, They were taught of God, and abundantly furnished with the means of rectitude and perfection in his service and worship. Grotius thinks that ×שר×× yeshurun is a diminutive of ×שר×× yishrael, Israel; expressing peculiar fondness and affection; ÎÏÏαηλιδιον, O little Israel.
