“Please”

Alan C. Miner

The Hebrew word for please here means, literally, to strike or shake hands. In the context of Isaiah’s rebuke, it probably speaks of how the children of Israel … turned their backs on the God of Israel to make covenants with nonbelievers. [ Hoyt W. Brewster, Jr., Isaiah Plain & Simple, p. 16]
