Bible Question:
my question concerns Isaiah 45:11. Can anyone give me the most accurate traslation of the verse? Thanks, dennis May God bless you. |
Bible Answer: ava4: Read the verse, Isaiah 45:11 in the NASB; for clearer meaning of the verse, read it in the context of Chapter 45. If, as I suspect, it is the locution "his Maker" that is giving you trouble, the antecedent of "his" is "Isreal," not "the Lord, the Holy One." [Cf. the Amplified rendering, which changes "his Maker" to "its Maker] If you need further exegesis, try a good commentary, printed or on-line, or ask of the forum: no doubt someone here will be able to help you. --Hank |
