Commentary on Isaiah (420)

(Verse 1) And now, thus says the Lord, the one who created you, Jacob, and the one who formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. LXX: And now thus says the Lord who made you, Jacob, and formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine. The Hebrews interpret this as the second coming of the Savior, when after the fullness of the Gentiles, all of Israel will be saved.

It is used because the names ‘Jacob’ and ‘Israel’ in the singular number are applied to the people.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

The Hebrew means to ransom by a price paid in lieu of the captives (compare Isa 43:3). Babylon was to be the ransom in this case, that is, was to be destroyed, in order that they might be delivered; so Christ became a curse, doomed to death, that we might be redeemed. called . . . by . . . name--not merely "called" in general, as in Isa 42:6;
