Isaiah48:13

Ver. 13. My hand hath alſo laid the foundation of the earth] My left hand, Oecolamp. in loc. ſay the Rabbins, as my right hand ſpanned the heavens; that is, meted them out as a workman doth his work. God did but call unto them both, and they ſtood up together; Vain therefore and needleſs was the diſputation of the Samerites and the Hillelites among the Jews, Whether was firſt created the heaven or the earth?
