This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Who redeemed Abraham - As God redeemed Abraham from among idolaters and workers of iniquity, so will he redeem those who hear the words of the Book, and are humbled before him, Isa 29:18, Isa 29:19.

Neither shall his face now wax pale “His face shall no more be covered with confusion” - “יחורו yechoro, Chald. ut ὁ μεταβαλει, Theod. εντραπησεται, Syr. נחפרו necaphro, videtur legendum יחפרו yechepheru: hic enim solum legitur verbum, חור chavar, nec in linguis affinibus habet pudoris significationem.” - Secker. “Here alone is the verb חור charar read; nor has it in the cognate languages the signification of shame.”
