Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Have separated; literally, have been separating. The force of the form used is continuous, and implies that Israel had now for a long time been heaping up a barrier between itself and Jehovah. Your sins have hid his face; literally, your sins have caused his face to be hidden from you, i.e. "have made him avert it."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Have separated--i.e., have become, as it were, a "middle wall of partition" excluding them from the Divine presence.His face.--Better, the face. The Hebrew has neither article nor possessive pronoun, the substantive being treated almost as a proper name.
