‏ Isaiah 63:3

Verse 3. And of the people there was none with me] I was wholly abandoned by them: but a good meaning is, No man has had any part in making the atonement; it is entirely the work of the Messiah alone. No created being could have any part in a sacrifice that was to be of infinite merit.

And I will stain-"And I have stained"] For egalti, a verb of very irregular formation, compounded, as they say, of the two forms of the preterite and future, a MS. has egalehu, the regular future with a pleonastic pronoun added to it, according to the Hebrew idiom: "And all my raiment, I have stained it." The necessity of the verb's being in the past tense seems to have given occasion to the alteration made in the end of the word. The conversive vau at the beginning of the sentence affects the verb, though not joined to it; of which there are many examples:-

anithani remim umikkarney

"And thou wilt hear me (or hear thou me) from among the horns of the unicorns," Ps 22:22.-L.

Instead of al begadai, upon my garments, one of my ancient MSS. has larets begadai, to the earth: but this word is partly effaced, and al written in the margin by a later hand.
