Isaiah 50:6-7

50:6

offered <05414> [gave.]

jaws <03895> [my cheeks.]

The eastern people always held the beard in great veneration; and to pluck a man's beard is one of the grossest indignities that can be offered. D'Arvieux gives a remarkable instance of an Arab, who, having received a wound in his jaw, chose to hazard his life rather than suffer the surgeon to cut off his beard. See Note on 2 Sa 10:4.

out ... beard <04803> [that plucked.]

hide <05641> [I hid.]

Another instance of the utmost contempt and detestation. Throughout the East it is highly offensive to spit in any one's presence; and if this is such an indignity, how much more spitting in the face?


50:7

sovereign <0136> [the Lord.]

resolved <07760> [I set.]
