Isaiah 31:5
_ _ As in the image of “the lion,” the point of comparison is the fearless might of Jehovah; so in that of the birds, it is His solicitous affection (Deuteronomy 32:11; Psalms 91:4; Matthew 23:37).
_ _ flying — Rather, “which defend” their young with their wings; “to fly” is a secondary meaning of the Hebrew word [Maurer]. “Hovering over” to protect their young [G. V. Smith].
_ _ passing over — as the destroying angel passing over, so as to spare the blood-marked houses of the Israelites on the first passover (Exodus 12:13, Exodus 12:23, Exodus 12:27). He passed, or leaped forward [Lowth], to destroy the enemy and to spare His people. |
Isaiah 31:5
As birds — Which come from above, and so cannot be kept off; which fly swiftly, and engage resolutely, when their young ones are in danger. Passing over — The destroying angel shall pass over Jerusalem. |
- birds:
Isaiah 10:14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Deuteronomy 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
Psalms 46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.
Psalms 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
|
- defending:
Psalms 37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
|
- passing:
- Or rather, as Bp. Lowth renders, "leaping forward," pasoacḣ As the mother bird spreads her wings to cover her young, throws herself before them, and opposes the rapacious bird that assaults them; so shall Jehovah protect, as with a shield, Jerusalem from the enemy, protecting and delivering, springing forward and rescuing her.
Exodus 12:27 That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
