==References == | <p> ( '''''עֶבֶד''''' '''''יְהוִֹה''''' '', '''''Δοῦλος''''' '''''Τοῦ''''' '''''Κυρίου''''' ,'' "servant of the Lord," also in the phrase "my servant," etc.), a term used tropically in several senses. </p> <p> '''1.''' A [[Worshipper]] of God ( Nehemiah 1:10); so the [[Israelites]] in general ( Ezra 5:11), and Daniel in particular ( Daniel 6:21). In this sense it is applied as an epithet to the pious: e.g. to [[Abraham]] ( Psalms 105:6; Psalms 105:42), Joshua ( Joshua 24:29; Judges 2:8), Job ( Job 1:8, etc.), David ( Psalms 18:1, etc.), [[Eliakim]] ( Isaiah 22:20), [[Zerubbabel]] (Haggai 2:24), and to saints in general (Psalm 34:23, etc.; Isaiah 54:17, etc.). (See [[Saint]]). </p> <p> '''2.''' A [[Minister]] or ambassador of God, called and sent to perform any service ( Isaiah 49:6), e.g. Nebuchadnezzar, whom God used as his instrument in chastising his people ( Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10); but usually some favorite servant, as the angels ( Job 4:18), or prophets ( Amos 3:7; Jeremiah 7:25, etc.; Daniel 9:6; Ezra 9:11), especially Moses ( Deuteronomy 34:5; Joshua 1:1; Joshua 1:13; Joshua 1:15; Psalms 105:26), and Isaiah ( Isaiah 20:3). Sometimes the two ideas of a pious worshipper of God and a special messenger sent by him seem to have coalesced, as in the passages relating to Abraham and Moses, and particularly in those where [[Israel]] or Jacob, i.e. the people of Israel, is addressed by this honorable and endearing appellation (as Isaiah 41:8, etc.; Jeremiah 30:10, etc.; Ezekiel 28:25; Ezekiel 37:25; comp. Hosea 11:1). </p> <p> '''3.''' Peculiarly the [[Messiah]] is thus typified, especially in the latter chapters of Isaiah (more particularly 42:1; 52:13; comp. Matthew 12:13), as preeminently Jehovah's chosen servant for accomplishing the work of redemption. See Gesenius, ''Comment. In Jesa.'' ad loc.; Stier, ''Words Of The Lord Jesus,'' 2, 566 [Am. ed.]; Steudel, [[De]] '''''עֶבֶד''''' '''''י''''' 8 8 '''''י''''' (T '''''Ü''''' b. 1829); Umbreit, ''Der Knecht Gottes'' (Hamb. 1840); Schmutz, ''Le Serviteur De Jehovah'' (Strasb. 1858); Oehler, ''Knecht Jehovah'' ' ''S'' (Stuttg. 1865); Urwick, ''The [[Servant]] Of Jehovah'' (Edinb. 1877). (See [[Double]] Sense). </p> | ||
