Isaiah 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?
Isaiah 38:17
grief ... experienced ..... benefit <04751 07965> [for peace I had great bitterness. or, on my peace came great bitterness.]
delivered me .... pit <05315 07845 02836> [in love to my soul delivered it from the pit. Heb. loved my soul from the pit.]
removed <07993> [thou hast cast.]
Isaiah 51:23
put ...................... made <07760> [I will.]
down <07812> [Bow.]
