Isaiah 63:12

"Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”"

Key Reflection

Isaiah's verse evokes a sense of divine remembrance and questioning, linking Moses' leadership to God’s continued presence and active involvement in Israel's history. By asking where the deliverer who brought them out of slavery is, Isaiah highlights both the past miraculous interventions and the ongoing need for such divine guidance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

That led them by the right hand of Moses -(See the notes atIsaiah 41:10-13;Isaiah 45:1). Dividing the water before them -Exodus 14:21. To make himself an everlasting name -He designed to perform a work which, it would be seen, could not be performed by any false god or by any human arm, and to do it in such circumstances, and in such a manner, that it might be seen everywhere that this was the true God (compare the notes atIsaiah 45:6). The deliverance from Egypt was attended with such amazing miracles, and with such a sudden destruction of his foes, that none but the true God could have performed it.
