JFB: Isa 63:12

The right hand of Moses was but the instrument; the arm of God was the real mover (Exo 15:6; Exo 14:21).

JFB: Isa 63:12 - dividing the water

(Neh 9:11; Psa 78:13).

Calvin: Isa 63:12 - Who led them

12.Who led them Here he goes on to describe the miraculous deliverance of the people, who were led out of Egypt under the guidance of Moses; and he goes on to relate the complaints which might occur to the minds of the afflicted Jews. Here we see two things connected; namely, the right hand of Moses and the arm of God’s majesty. The Lord employs the labors and ministry of men in such a manner that his praise and glory must not be in any degree diminished or obscured; for, while these things are transacted under Moses as the leader, everything is ascribed to God. Just as, when the ministers of the Gospel are said to “forgive sins,” (Joh 20:23,) which nevertheless belongs to God alone, does this detract from his authority and majesty? Not at all; for they are only his instruments, and lend their labor to God, to whom the undivided praise ought to be rendered. And indeed, what could the hand of a single man have accomplished, if it had not been wielded by the arm of God?

Accordingly, he expressly adds the design, that God performed miracles at that time, in order that he might gain for himself an everlasting name; and if we are not at liberty to deprive him of this, it will not be lawful to transfer to man even the smallest portion of praise.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Isa 63:12 - The right land // With his glorious arm // Dividing the water

The right land viz. the strength and power that God gave to Moses, expressed by the right hand , that being usually esteemed the stronger, Psa 16:8 20:6 . Or, the rod in his right hand; by which understand also all the wonders that he did for them in Egypt.

With his glorious arm or that arm wherewith God gained to himself so much glory, being always present at the assistance of Moses, Deu 4:34 : or Moses’ s right hand, led by God’ s glorious arm, as parents lead their children, that God may have all the glory in the using of his instruments.

Dividing the water the Red Sea, Exo 14:21 , and also Jordan, Jos 3:15,16 . To make himself an everlasting name; with reference both to his power and providence, as respecting either his aim and end in doing what he did, or the effect of it when it was done, it got him renown.

Gill: Isa 63:12 - That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm // dividing the water before them

That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm,.... That is, through the Red sea, as the next clause shows: this was done by the right hand of Moses, and the rod in it, to which Kimchi thinks respect is had; who, by divine order, lifted up his rod, and stretched out his hand over the sea, and divided it, and so led the people through it: but, lest this should be attributed to Moses and his rod, the glorious arm of the Lord is made mention of, which held and guided the right hand of Moses, and from whence came all that power that was exerted on this occasion. Aben Ezra interprets this of the Angel of the Lord, that went before them: it seems to design the arm of omnipotence, which was gloriously displayed, Exo 15:6,

dividing the water before them; the waters of the sea, so that they rose up as a wall on each side them, through which they passed as on dry land: to make himself an everlasting name? or to get himself everlasting honour and glory, as he did on Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen, Exo 14:17 and which wonderful action of his has been and ever will be spoken of to the glory of his name, which was the end he had in view.
