Isaiah 47:4

47:4 says our protector –

the Lord who commands armies is his name,

the Holy One of Israel. ¹ 

Isaiah 63:16

63:16 For you are our father,

though Abraham does not know us

and Israel does not recognize us.

You, Lord, are our father;

you have been called our protector from ancient times. ² 

[47:4]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text reads, “Our redeemer – the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts] is his name, the Holy One of Israel.” The ancient Greek version adds “says” before “our redeemer.” אָמַר (’amar) may have accidentally dropped from the text by virtual haplography. Note that the preceding word אָדָם (’adam) is graphically similar.

[63:16]  ² tn Heb “our protector [or “redeemer”] from antiquity [is] your name.”
