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

Subject: Re: [b-hebrew] Which subject?
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!
