Book ◦ Chapter

who sent His glorious arm
This phrase refers to God's power and might, often symbolized by His "arm" in Scripture. The "glorious arm" signifies divine intervention and strength. In the context of the Exodus, it highlights God's active role in delivering Israel from Egypt. The arm of the Lord is a recurring theme in Isaiah (e.g.,Isaiah 52:10), symbolizing salvation and judgment.

to lead them by the right hand of Moses
Moses is depicted as God's chosen leader, guided by divine power. The "right hand" symbolizes authority and skill. Moses, as a type of Christ, prefigures Jesus as the ultimate deliverer and mediator. This leadership is not by Moses' own strength but through God's empowerment, as seen inExodus 14:21-22 when Moses parts the Red Sea.

who divided the waters before them
This refers to the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, a pivotal event in Israel's history (Exodus 14:21-22). It demonstrates God's control over creation and His ability to make a way where there seems to be none. This act is a type of baptism, symbolizing the transition from slavery to freedom, and is referenced in1 Corinthians 10:1-2 as a foreshadowing of Christian baptism.

to gain for Himself everlasting renown
God's actions in history, such as the Exodus, are meant to reveal His glory and establish His reputation among the nations. The deliverance of Israel serves as a testament to God's faithfulness and power, intended to be remembered throughout generations. This everlasting renown is echoed inPsalm 106:8, where God's deeds are praised for the sake of His name.

God's Sovereign Power
The "glorious arm" of God signifies His unmatched power and authority. Believers can trust in God's ability to lead and deliver them from any situation.

God's Everlasting Renown

What Does Isaiah 63:12 Mean

who sent His glorious arm

- Scripture paints God’s “arm” as an unmistakable symbol of His personal power and active involvement (Isaiah 52:10;Exodus 15:6).

- He “sent” that arm toward Israel, not in detached supervision but in hands-on rescue—just asDeuteronomy 4:34 recalls God reaching into Egypt “by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.”

- The phrase reassures us that redemption is never merely an idea; it is God Himself stepping in with visible strength.

to lead them by the right hand of Moses

- God’s leadership came through a human instrument, showing that divine sovereignty and human agency work together.

•Exodus 3:10–12: God commissions Moses yet promises, “I will be with you.”

•Psalm 77:20: “You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron”.

- “Right hand” signals authority and skill (Psalm 118:16). God steadied Moses’ hand so Israel could move forward in confidence.

who divided the waters before them

- The historical marker of the Exodus: “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back” (Exodus 14:21).

-Psalm 78:13 echoes, “He split the sea and brought them through.” The event is presented as literal, miraculous intervention, reminding every generation that nature itself bends to its Creator.

-Nehemiah 9:11 looks back on the scene to underline that Israel’s enemies were swallowed while God’s people walked “through the midst of the sea on dry ground.”

to gain for Himself everlasting renown

- God’s mighty acts have a purpose beyond immediate rescue: they broadcast His glory so that “My name may be proclaimed in all the earth” (Exodus 9:16).

-Psalm 106:8 states it plainly: “Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.”

- That “everlasting” renown stretches to New-Covenant praise (Ephesians 1:12), inviting all peoples to trust the God who saves and exalts His own name.

summary

Isaiah 63:12 recalls the Exodus as a vivid portrait of God’s character: His own mighty arm reached down, guiding Moses’ hand, opening a path through impossible waters, and securing a reputation of glory that will never fade. We can rest today in the same God who acts personally, works through willing servants, conquers every obstacle, and turns every deliverance into praise for His eternal name.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(12)With his glorious arm.--Literally,with the arm of His glory,ormajesty.This, the arm of the Unseen Guide, is thought of as accompanying the leader of Israel, ready to grasp his hand and support him in time of need.

Dividing the water.--The words may include the passage of the Jordan, but refer primarily to that of the Red Sea. (Comp.Psalm 77:16;Psalm 106:9.)

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12.- That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm; rather,that caused his glorious arm to attend at Mosesright hand - ready (as Dr. Weir says) to grasp him if he should stumble. Dividingthe water before them; literally,cleaving the waters before their face (comp.Exodus 14:21).To make himself an everlasting name (seeExodus 15:11-16). It was one of the main purposes of the entire series of miracles wrought in Egypt, "that God's Name might be declared throughout all the earth" (Exodus 9:16).
