Dear Pere,

God here is imagined as a warrior, using his arm as a weapon. "Save" here
basically means "defeats his enemies".

In Is 63:5 we find "WTW$( LY ZRO(Y", and my arm saved me.

I ask:

1. Who is speaking here? God? Isaiah? Someone else? Who exactly?
2. Who is the "owner" of the "arm"? Whose the arm is?
3. Verb Y$).... does it always introduce its object (the person or thing
saved) by (or with or through)preposition [l]?

[4. Only if God speaks: Does it make sense that God is "saved" (even by his
own arm)?]

Best regards!
