Exegesis
The instrumental phrase beyad yeshayahu {בְּיַד יְשַׁעְיָהוּ | bə-yad Yəša‘yāhû} ‘through Isaiah’ expresses prophetic mediation.
In context — Isaiah 20:2
At that time the LORD spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and take off your sandals from your feet.” And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
