Bible Notes
"He created it not in vain" (Isa. 45:18)—The Hebrew word rendered "in vain" is "tohu," literally "waste, emptiness, etc." (Cf. Genesis 1:2, where our Common Version renders it "without form.") In this verse Moffatt and Kent translate "waste," while Smith suggests "chaos."
"There is none else" (Isa. 45:5, 18)—In the Hebrew the words " en'oth" (literally, "there-is-not besides" —Brown, Driver, Briggs: Hebrew Lexicon) can mean either, "There is none (no-one) else;" or simply, "There is nothing else."
"The word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness" (Isa. 45:23)—The Hebrew word "tsedaqah," here rendered "righteousness,' can also mean "divine and human right, justice, faithfulness" (Feyerabend: Hebrew Dictionary, p. 282). Hence the sense would appear to be: "I have made a reliable statement," or, as Moffatt renders it, "I swear a true word." It may be added that in the following verse, where our Common Version translates "righteousness and strength," Moffatt suggests "victory and power.'
