the many proofs which all along from the first God had given Israel of
His goodness and His power
(De 4:32-38; 29:2-4;
Ps 78:1-72; 105:1-45).
he--transition from the second to the third person. "Opening . . .
ears," that is, though he (Israel) hath his ears open
(see on
Isa 6:10).

Isa 42:19),

(Isa 50:5;
Ps 40:6).
