Why does it say "v'Atah"?

1.

Rashi: After all this, Hashem said not to fear.

2.

Radak #1: Some say that this refers to Koresh Melech Paras. He sent Yisrael from Galus Bavel.

3.

Radak citing his father: This refers to Sancheriv 1 . It is connected to the Parashah above - a fire will burn around (42:25). Now it promises Yerushalayim's residents [protection] from Sancheriv.

4.

Radak #2: We can say that this Parashah refers to the future 2 .

5.

Malbim: In spite of all this, do not despair.


1

Radak: This is correct.

2

I.e. the days of Mashi'ach. (PF)

2)

Why does it say "Bora'acha Yakov"?

1.

Radak: Recognize that I created you, and the world.

2.

Malbim: Beriyah is creating substance from which matters are formed. Yisrael are called Yakov when they are at a low level. They are called Yisrael when they are esteemed, and are conducted miraculously. Initially, the beginning of the nation (their substance) is Yakov; their essential form is Yisrael - they rule over nature. Refer to 43:1:3:3.

3)

From what did Hashem redeem you?

1.

Radak #1: From Sancheriv's sword. He will not capture Yerushalayim.

2.

Radak #2: If this refers to the future, I redeemed you from Galus.

3.

Malbim: From Egypt. I chose you for [My] nation; this obligates Me to redeem them again, for they are My servants, and not Nebuchadnetzar's.

4)

Why does it say "Li Atah"?

1.

Radak: It is upon Me to redeem you.

2.

Malbim: Based on "Yotzercha" (your form) I called you Yisrael, and you are to Me; you are under My Hashgachah, and not under nature and the Heavenly legions.
