Exegesis

The sequence wə-yišlāḥ lā-hem mōšîaʿ wārāḇ wə-hiṣîlām {וְיִשְׁלַ֥ח לָהֶ֛ם מוֹשִׁ֥יעַ וָרָ֖ב וְהִצִּילָֽם | wə-yish-lāḥ lā-hem mō-šî-aʿ wā-rāḇ wə-hits-î-lām} employs vav-consecutive and Hiphil perfect forms to underscore decisive divine intervention—sending both a savior and a great one who effects deliverance. The English rendering preserves Hebrew word order and causal flow while conveying emphasis on salvation.

In contextIsaiah 19:20

And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, because they will cry out to the LORD on account of oppressors , and He will send them a savior and a great one, and He will deliver them.
