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

JFB: Isa 50:5 - opened . . . ear

(See on Isa 42:20; Isa 48:8); that is, hath made me obediently attentive (but MAURER, "hath informed me of my duty"), as a servant to his master (compare Psa 40:6-8, with Phi 2:7; Isa 42:1; Isa 49:3, Isa 49:6; Isa 52:13; Isa 53:11; Mat 20:28; Luk 22:27).

JFB: Isa 50:5 - not rebellious

But, on the contrary, most willing to do the Father's will in proclaiming and procuring salvation for man, at the cost of His own sufferings (Heb 10:5-10).

Clarke: Isa 50:5

Neither turned away back "Neither did I withdraw myself backward"- Eleven MSS. and the oldest edition prefix the conjunction ו vau ; and so also the Septuagint and Syriac.

Calvin: Isa 50:5 - The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear

5.The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear He again repeats what he had formerly said, and here includes everything that belongs to the office of a teacher; for the “opening of the ear” must be understood to refer not only to doctrine, but to the whole calling; that is, when he takes one to be his servant, and intbrms of his duty him whom he has determined to send, when he gives commands, and enjoins him to execute what he commands. But the Lord “opens the ear,” not only when he declares what is his will, but when he powerfully affects a man’s heart and moves him to render obedience, as it is said,

“Thou hast bored mine ear.” (Psa 40:6.)

And Christ says,

“Whosoever hath heard and learned from the Father cometh to me.”
(Joh 6:45.)

Such is also the import of the second clause, And I was not rebellious, the meaning of which may be thus summed up: “He undertakes nothing at random, but, being fully convinced of God’s calling, he discharges the office of a teacher, though it is laborious and difficult, because he is ready to obey.”

Defender: Isa 50:5 - opened mine ear

The opening of His ear was in reference to the boring of a hole in the ear of a servant willing to remain with his master instead of claiming his freedom (Exo 21:2-6), symbolic of listening only to the word of his lord (compare Joh 5:30)."

TSK: Isa 50:5

Isa 48:8; Psa 40:6-8; Mat 26:39; Joh 8:29, Joh 14:31, Joh 15:10; Phi 2:8; Heb 5:8; Heb 10:5-9

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

Poole: Isa 50:5 - Hath opened mine ear // I was not rebellious // Neither turned away back

Hath opened mine ear hath revealed unto me; or rather, hath given me a power and will to hear and receive his commands, as this phrase is used, Psa 40:6 Isa 35:5 , and elsewhere.

I was not rebellious I readily did and suffered what he required of me.

Neither turned away back: the same thing repeated in other words. I did not turn away mine ear from hearing any of God’ s commands, nor my feet from gong where God sent me, how difficult or dangerous soever my employment was. He seems to allude to the former prophets, who had, divers of them, shrunk back, and for a time refused such work as God called them to, as Moses, Exo 3:11,13, Jon 1:8 , and others.

Gill: Isa 50:5 - The Lord God hath opened mine ear // And I was not rebellious // neither turned away back

The Lord God hath opened mine ear,.... To hear most freely, and receive most fully, what is said by him, and to observe and do it: the allusion seems to be to the servant that had his ears bored, being willing to serve his master for ever, Exo 21:5 which phrase of boring or opening the ear is used of Christ, Psa 40:6. It is expressive of his voluntary obedience, as Mediator, to his divine Father, engaging in, and performing with the greatest readiness and cheerfulness, the great work of man's redemption and salvation.

And I was not rebellious; not to his earthly parents, to whom he was subject; nor to civil magistrates, to whom he paid tribute; nor to God, he always did the things that pleased him: he was obedient to the precepts of the moral law, and to the penalty of it, death itself, and readily submitted to the will of God in suffering for his people; which obedience of his was entirely free and voluntary, full, complete, and perfect, done in the room and stead of his people; is the measure of their righteousness, and by which they become righteous; is well pleasing to God, and infinitely preferable to the obedience of men and angels:

neither turned away back; he did not decline the work proposed to him, but readily engaged in it; he never stopped in it, or desisted from it, until he had finished it; he did not hesitate about it, as Moses and Jeremy; or flee from it, as Jonah.
