Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 48:13

13. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together .

Or, doth span, i. e. mete out the Heavens with a span, as the Phrase is, Isa. 40. 12. Although that be expressed there in other Hebrew words. Or, hath spread them out with its palm, or like a palm, when the hand is stretched out.

Either they stood up and arose out of nothing, when I commanded them to do [illegible: 1 word]: Or, they are still continually in readiness to execute my commands.

Marginal references: Or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out.
