Isaiah 45:2

45:2 “I will go before you

and level mountains.

Bronze doors I will shatter

and iron bars I will hack through.


tc The form הֲדוּרִים (hadurim) makes little, if any, sense here. It is probably a corruption of an original הָרָרִים (hararim, “mountains”), the reduplicated form of הָר (har, “mountain”).

tn That is, on the gates. Cf. CEV “break the iron bars on bronze gates.”
