Your Redeemer is Your Teacher
Commentators emphasize that the God who redeems His people is the same God who personally teaches and guides them. This verse identifies God by His saving actions ('thy Redeemer, the Holy One') before stating His role as an instructor. Scholars like Gill and Henry see this as a clear description of Jesus Christ, who both saves His people and teaches them the way of life.
