ISAIAH CHAPTER 47

Having prophesied in the previous chapter about the collapse of the gods of Babylon and about the salvation HaShem was to send to Israel with the destruction of her empire, Isaiah now tells Babylon to prepare for her coming exile. He calls her "the virgin daughter of Babylon" (v 1), because until her capture by Darius the Mede and Cyrus king of Persia, she had never been subject to any other nation, like a virgin who has not yet come into any man's domain (Metzudas David ad loc.). Now Babylon was to sit in the dust "with no throne" (v 1) – because she would never again sit on the throne of kingship over others (Metzudas David ad loc.).

UNIVERSAL TORAH: HA-AZINU

By Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum

Torah Reading: HA-AZINU, Deuteronomy 32: 1-52

THE SONG OF G-D'S JUSTICE

Some songs are happy, some are sad. Some are for entertainment. Some come to tell a story or teach a lesson. Some express the inner heart and soul. Unique among all songs is the song of Moses in our parshah. HA-AZINU is the song of G-d's perfect Justice -- the ultimate reproof to man.

The Hebrew word for song, SHIRAH, is related to the word SHER, which means a chain or necklace. A song is a chain, thread or structure that connects various particulars together in order to make a meaningful order. As the very climax of the Torah, Moses' song of HA'AZINU gives order and meaning to the history of the people of Israel with its great highs and terrible lows. Everything comes to show the faultless, inexorable justice of G-d. "The Rock -- His work is perfect, for all His ways are Justice, the G-d of faithfulness in Whom there is no wrong, He is righteous and straight!" (Deut. 32:4).

ISAIAH CHAPTER 45

Having mentioned King Cyrus of Persia in the last verse of the previous chapter, Isaiah now begins to prophesy that he would conquer Babylon in order to allow the people of Judah to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple.

"So says HaShem to His anointed, to Cyrus…" (v 1). The plain meaning of the text is that God is addressing Cyrus, who as a king is called "anointed" (MASHIACH). However, on the level of DRASH, He is addressing His truly anointed Melech HaMashiach, complaining about Cyrus because God asked him to build the Temple and gather in the exiles, but instead of doing the job himself, he merely gave permission to the Jews to go up to Jerusalem and to build the Temple themselves (Ezra 1:3; Megillah 12a). According to this interpretation, verse 4 in our present chapter, "I have named you though you have not known Me", is a complaint that God named Cyrus long before his birth (i.e. in this prophecy) yet he did not "know" God in the sense that he did not do what God wanted, because he threw the whole burden of building the Temple off his own shoulders (see Rashi on verse 4).
