[45:12]  1 tn The words “who live” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[45:12]  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.

[45:12]  3 tn Or “the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[45:12]  4 tn Heb “and to all their host I commanded.” See the notes at 40:26.

[45:18]  5 tn Heb “he [is] the God.” The article here indicates uniqueness.

[45:18]  6 tn Or “unformed.” Gen 1:2 describes the world as “unformed” (תֹהוּ, tohu) prior to God’s creative work, but God then formed the world and made it fit for habitation.
