Isaiah 45:12

Context

45:12 I made the earth,

I created the people who live 1  on it.

It was me – my hands 2  stretched out the sky, 3 

I give orders to all the heavenly lights. 4 

1 tn The words “who live” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “I, even my hands”; NASB “I stretched out…with My hands”; NRSV “it was my hands that stretched out.” The same construction occurs at the beginning of v. 13.

3 tn Or “the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

4 tn Heb “and to all their host I commanded.” See the notes at 40:26.
