For your husband is your Maker
This phrase introduces a profound metaphorical relationship between God and His people. The Hebrew word for "husband" here is "בַּעַל" (ba'al), which can also mean "master" or "lord." This term signifies a covenant relationship, akin to marriage, where God is the protector and provider. The word "Maker" is "עֹשֶׂךָ" (osekha), derived from the root "עָשָׂה" (asah), meaning "to make" or "to do." This emphasizes God's role as the Creator, not just of the universe, but of Israel as a nation. Historically, this reflects the intimate and binding covenant God established with Israel, akin to a marriage, where He is both Creator and Sustainer.

The LORD of Hosts is His name
The title "LORD of Hosts" is "יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת" (YHWH Tseva'ot) in Hebrew. "Hosts" refers to the armies of heaven, indicating God's supreme command over all celestial and earthly forces. This title underscores His omnipotence and authority. In the historical context of Isaiah, this would reassure Israel of God's power to protect and deliver them from their enemies. The use of "His name" signifies the importance of God's revealed character and attributes, which are encapsulated in His name.

The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer
"Redeemer" is "גֹּאֲלֵךְ" (go'alech) in Hebrew, from the root "גָּאַל" (ga'al), meaning "to redeem" or "to buy back." This term is rich with connotations of deliverance and restoration, often used in the context of a kinsman-redeemer who restores family rights. "The Holy One of Israel" emphasizes God's unique and set-apart nature, highlighting His moral perfection and faithfulness to His covenant. This phrase reassures Israel of God's commitment to their redemption and restoration, despite their unfaithfulness.

He is called the God of all the earth
This phrase expands the understanding of God's sovereignty beyond Israel to encompass the entire earth. "God of all the earth" signifies His universal dominion and authority. In the ancient Near Eastern context, deities were often seen as territorial, but this declaration affirms that the God of Israel is not limited by geography. This would inspire confidence in the Israelites, knowing that their God is supreme over all nations and creation. It also foreshadows the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's redemptive plan, a theme that unfolds throughout the prophetic writings and into the New Testament.

(5) The Lord of Hosts . . . the Holy One of Israel.--We note the combination of the two names so prominent in 1 Isaiah. The "Redeemer" in this context suggests the idea of the next of kin (such, e.g., as Boaz was to Ruth), taking on himself the kinsman's duty of protection (Ruth 4:4-6).

Verse 5. - For thy Maker is thine Husband; rather, for thy Husband is thy Maker. The verse is exegetical of the terms, "married with" in ver. 1, and "widowhood" in ver. 4. "I," says the prophet, "have called thee married and widowed, thereby yoking thee to a husband, for thou hast a Husband, namely, thy Maker." (The Hebrew has both words in the plural, to accord with the following Elohim.) This relationship of God to his Church is often asserted by the prophets (Jeremiah 3:14; Jeremiah 31:32; Hosea 2:19; Song of Solomon 1:4, etc.), and lies at the root of the oft-recurring metaphor by which idolatry is called "lewdness," "adultery," or "playing the whore." Thy Redeemer the Holy One; rather, thy Redeemer is the Holy One. (On the title itself, see the comment on Isaiah 1:4.) The God of the whole earth (comp. Psalm 24:1; Psalm 47:2, 7; Psalm 133:18, etc.). Materially, he was always this. Now, from this time, he will be "God of the whole earth" morally; not God of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles (see Romans 3:29).
