ارْفَعُوا إِلَى الْعَلاَءِ عُيُونَكُمْ وَانْظُرُوا، مَنْ خَلَقَ هذِهِ؟ مَنِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ بِعَدَدٍ جُنْدَهَا، يَدْعُو كُلَّهَا بِأَسْمَاءٍ؟ لِكَثْرَةِ الْقُوَّةِ وَكَوْنِهِ شَدِيدَ الْقُدْرَةِ لاَ يُفْقَدُ أَحَدٌ.

After the questions in Isa 40:18 and Isa 40:25, which close syllogistically, a third start is made, to demonstrate the incomparable nature of Jehovah. "Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these things? It is He who bringeth out their host by number, calleth them all by names, because of the greatness of (His) might, and as being strong in power: there is not one that is missing." Jehovah spoke in Isa 40:25; now the prophet speaks again. We have here the same interchange which occurs in every prophetic book from Deuteronomy downwards, and in which the divine fulness of the prophets is displayed. The answer does not begin with המּוציא, in the sense of "He who brings them out has created them;" but the participle is the predicate to the subject of which the prophet's soul is full: Jehovah, it is He who brings out the army of stars upon the plane of heaven, as a general leads out his army upon the field of battle, and that bemispâr, by number, counting the innumerable stars, those children of light in armour of light, which meet the eye as it looks up by night. The finite verb יקרא denotes that which takes place every night. He calls them all by name (comp. the derivative passage, Psa 147:4): this He does on account of the greatness and fulness of His might ('ōnı̄m, vires, virtus), and as strong in power, i.e., because He is so. This explanation is simpler than Ewald's (293, c), viz., "because of the power (τὸ κρατερὸν) of the Strong One." The call addressed to the stars that are to rise is the call of the Almighty, and therefore not one of all the innumerable host remains behind. אישׁ individualizes; נעדּר (participle), as in Isa 34:16, suggests the idea of a sheep that is missed from the flock through staying behind. The second part of the address clo…

The cosmos bears witness to God’s great power and incomparable strength. The Strong One is able to strengthen the weak (40:27-31; see Ps 147:5).

وَيَدِي أَسَّسَتِ الأَرْضَ، وَيَمِينِي نَشَرَتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ. أَنَا أَدْعُوهُنَّ فَيَقِفْنَ مَعًا.
«اِرْفَعُوا إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ عُيُونَكُمْ، وَانْظُرُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ. فَإِنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَالدُّخَانِ تَضْمَحِلُّ، وَالأَرْضَ كَالثَّوْبِ تَبْلَى، وَسُكَّانَهَا كَالْبَعُوضِ يَمُوتُونَ. أَمَّا خَلاَصِي فَإِلَى الأَبَدِ يَكُونُ وَبِرِّي لاَ يُنْقَضُ.
هكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ فَادِيكَ وَجَابِلُكَ مِنَ الْبَطْنِ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ صَانِعٌ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، نَاشِرٌ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدِي، بَاسِطٌ الأَرْضَ. مَنْ مَعِي؟
اَلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَجْدِ اللهِ، وَالْفَلَكُ يُخْبِرُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ.
هكَذَا يَقُولُ اللهُ الرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَاشِرُهَا، بَاسِطُ الأَرْضِ وَنَتَائِجِِهَا، مُعْطِي الشَّعْبِ عَلَيْهَا نَسَمَةً، وَالسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا رُوحًا:
وَلِئَلاَّ تَرْفَعَ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَتَنْظُرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ، كُلَّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ لِجَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ كُلِّ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَغْتَرَّ وَتَسْجُدَ لَهَا وَتَعْبُدَهَا.
مُصَوِّرُ النُّورِ وَخَالِقُ الظُّلْمَةِ، صَانِعُ السَّلاَمِ وَخَالِقُ الشَّرِّ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ صَانِعُ كُلِّ هذِهِ.
مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ، وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.
فَتِّشُوا فِي سِفْرِ الرَّبِّ وَاقْرَأُوا. وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ هذِهِ لاَ تُفْقَدُ. لاَ يُغَادِرُ شَيْءٌ صَاحِبَهُ، لأَنَّ فَمَهُ هُوَ قَدْ أَمَرَ، وَرُوحَهُ هُوَ جَمَعَهَا.
