Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 51:15

_ _ divided ... sea — the Red Sea. The same Hebrew word as “make to rest” (Isaiah 51:4). Rather, “that terrify the sea,” that is, restrain it by My rebuke, “when its waves roar” [Gesenius]. The Hebrew favors Maurer, “that terrify the sea so that the waves roar.” The sense favors Gesenius (Jeremiah 5:22; Jeremiah 31:35), or English Version (Isaiah 51:9, Isaiah 51:10, which favors the special reference to the exodus from Egypt).

Matthew Henry's Commentary
