In the Hebrew, the word for "call to mind" is "zakar," which means to remember or recall. This is a call to shift focus from past failures or even past victories, which can hinder present faith and future hope. The Israelites are being urged to let go of their past, which includes their time in Egypt and their subsequent disobedience, to embrace the new work God is doing.<p><b>the former things</b><br />The "former things" refer to past events, particularly those that God has already accomplished for Israel, such as the Exodus from Egypt. Historically, these events were foundational for Israel's identity, but God is now pointing them towards a new future. Theologically, this suggests that while God’s past acts are important, they should not limit our expectation of what He can do now and in the future.<p><b>nor ponder</b><br />The Hebrew word here is "biyn," which means to consider or understand. This is a deeper level of reflection than merely remembering. It suggests an intentional analysis or meditation on past events. God is instructing His people not to dwell on or analyze the past to the point where it becomes a barrier to perceiving His new work.<p><b>the things of old</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the antiquity of the events being referenced. In the context of Isaiah, "the things of old" could include the covenant with Abraham, the deliverance from Egypt, and the giving of the Law at Sinai. While these are significant, God is doing something new that will surpass these past events. This is a call to faith, trusting that God’s future plans are greater than what has been experienced before.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/43.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(18, 19) <span class= "bld">Remember ye not . . .</span>--All the wonders of the great historic past of Israel were to be as nothing compared with the new manifestation of the power of Jehovah, which Isaiah sees as already dawning in the future.<p><span class= "bld">Shall ye not know it?</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">Will ye not give heed to it?</span><p><span class= "bld">I will even make a way in the wilderness . . .</span>--The literal and the spiritual senses melt into each other.

The old deliverance will be as nothing compared with the new. Israel must cast its eye forwards, not backwards. Mr. Cheyne well compares <a href="/jeremiah/23-7.htm">Jeremiah 23:7, 8</a>, and also well notes that "the chief glories of the second manifestation are spiritual." Israel in the wilderness was a stiff:necked and rebellious people, given to murmuring, licentiousness, and idolatry. Israel, returned from Babylon, will no more hanker after idols, but will have God's Law "put in their inward parts" (<a href="/jeremiah/32-33.htm">Jeremiah 32:33</a>), and will "show forth God's praise" (ver. 21). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/43-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">“Do not</span><br /><span class="heb">אַֽל־</span> <span class="translit">(’al-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> </span><span class="str2">Not</span><br /><br /><span class="word">call to mind</span><br /><span class="heb">תִּזְכְּר֖וּ</span> <span class="translit">(tiz·kə·rū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2142.htm">Strong's 2142: </a> </span><span class="str2">To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the former things;</span><br /><span class="heb">רִֽאשֹׁנ֑וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(ri·šō·nō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7223.htm">Strong's 7223: </a> </span><span class="str2">First, in place, time, rank</span><br /><br /><span class="word">pay no</span><br /><span class="heb">אַל־</span> <span class="translit">(’al-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> </span><span class="str2">Not</span><br /><br /><span class="word">attention</span><br /><span class="heb">תִּתְבֹּנָֽנוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(tiṯ·bō·nā·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hitpael - Imperfect - second person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_995.htm">Strong's 995: </a> </span><span class="str2">To separate mentally, understand</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to things of old.</span><br /><span class="heb">וְקַדְמֹנִיּ֖וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(wə·qaḏ·mō·nî·yō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Adjective - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6931.htm">Strong's 6931: </a> </span><span class="str2">Anterior, oriental</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/isaiah/43-18.htm">Isaiah 43:18 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/isaiah/43-18.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 43:18 Don't remember the former things and don't (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/43-17.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 43:17"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:17" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/43-19.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 43:19"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:19" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
