Isaiah 41:4
Douay-Rheims
Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, I am the first and the last.
Ibn Ezra
עשה Hath prepared. Comp. לעשות to dress (Gen. 18:7). Who has done this? God has done it, who is calling the generations from the beginning, before they come into existence; who knows all future generations, and cites each of them to appear in its right time. The first of all generations that have hitherto existed. And with the last, with the last generations.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
