In this phrase, God the Father sees the travail of his son, and the requirements of justice are satisfied. At times, God the Father represents justice while the Son represents mercy. This scripture is a good example; Elohim, or justice, is satisfied with the merciful sacrifice of the Only-Begotten. In the Jewish tradition, Elohim and Jehovah are the same individual so the differential use of these names highlights their attributes of justice and mercy respectively, "In midrashic language: If you do My will I am [Jehovah], the Merciful one, but if not I will be Elohim, the dispenser of stern justice." (The Torah: A Modern Commentary, ed. by W. Gunther Plaut, p. 541). Abinadi expands on this theme in his explanation to the priests, telling them that Jehovah had ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice (Mosiah 15:9).
