Isaiah 45:12 Douay-Rheims

I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

I have made the earth, etc. How will you command me concerning my children, when the whole universe belongs to me? I have created earth and man upon it; my hands have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded, and consequently they were created. I commanded is poetically said for I spoke as in the verse He commanded and they were created (Ps. 148:5)

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
