Isaiah 40:13
_ _ Quoted in Romans 11:34; 1 Corinthians 2:16. The Hebrew here for “directed” is the same as in Isaiah 40:12 for “meted out”; thus the sense is, “Jehovah measures out heaven with His span”; but who can measure Him? that is, Who can search out His Spirit (mind) wherewith He searches out and accurately adjusts all things? Maurer rightly takes the Hebrew in the same sense as in Isaiah 40:12 (so Proverbs 16:2; Proverbs 21:2), “weigh,” “ponder.” “Direct,” as in English Version, answers, however, better to “taught” in the parallel clause. |
