The Hebrew word for "called" is "קָרָא" (qara), which implies being summoned or named. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a name was more than just a label; it represented one's identity and destiny. Being "called by My name" signifies belonging to God, being under His authority, and reflecting His character. This calling is not limited to Israel but extends to all who are grafted into God's family through faith, as seen in the New Testament teachings.<p><b>and created for My glory</b><br />The Hebrew word for "created" is "בָּרָא" (bara), which is used exclusively for divine creation, indicating an act of God that brings something into existence from nothing. The purpose of this creation is "for My glory." The word "glory" in Hebrew is "כָּבוֹד" (kavod), which conveys weightiness, honor, and splendor. Humanity's ultimate purpose is to reflect and magnify God's glory. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative that all creation exists to declare the majesty of the Creator, as seen in <a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a>.<p><b>whom I have indeed formed</b><br />The word "formed" is "יָצַר" (yatsar) in Hebrew, often used to describe a potter shaping clay. This imagery suggests intentionality and care in God's creation of individuals. It implies that God has a specific design and purpose for each person, crafted with precision and love. This concept is echoed in <a href="/jeremiah/18-6.htm">Jeremiah 18:6</a>, where God is depicted as the potter and Israel as the clay, highlighting God's sovereignty and intimate involvement in the lives of His people.<p><b>and made</b><br />The Hebrew word "עָשָׂה" (asah) means to do or make, often referring to the completion of a task. In this context, it underscores the idea that God not only initiates creation but also brings it to fulfillment. This word complements "formed," emphasizing that God's creative work is both intentional and complete. It reassures believers of God's ongoing work in their lives, as He continues to shape and mold them according to His divine purpose, as seen in <a href="/philippians/1-6.htm">Philippians 1:6</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/43.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) <span class= "bld">Every one that is called by my name</span>--<span class= "ital">i.e., </span>who is marked as belonging to the people that is chosen as the Lord's servant<span class= "bld"><p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/43.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Every one that is called by my name</span>. The very name of "Israel" meant "prince of God," or "soldier of God," and thus every Israelite was "called by God's name." Israelites were also known among the nations as Jehovah-worshippers (see the Moabite Stone, line 18). <span class="cmt_word">I have created... formed... made him</span> (comp. ver. 1). "The three verbs describe the process of formation from the first rough cutting to the perfecting of the work" (Cheyne). The third verb would, perhaps, be best translated. "I have perfected," or "I have completed (him)." All three acts - creation, formation, and completion - are done by God for his own glory (comp. <a href="/proverbs/16-4.htm">Proverbs 16:4</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/43-7.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">everyone</span><br /><span class="heb">כֹּ֚ל</span> <span class="translit">(kōl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">called</span><br /><span class="heb">הַנִּקְרָ֣א</span> <span class="translit">(han·niq·rā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7121.htm">Strong's 7121: </a> </span><span class="str2">To call, proclaim, read</span><br /><br /><span class="word">by My name</span><br /><span class="heb">בִשְׁמִ֔י</span> <span class="translit">(ḇiš·mî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> </span><span class="str2">A name</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and created</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּרָאתִ֑יו</span> <span class="translit">(bə·rā·ṯîw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1254.htm">Strong's 1254: </a> </span><span class="str2">To create, to cut down, select, feed</span><br /><br /><span class="word">for My glory,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלִכְבוֹדִ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·liḵ·ḇō·w·ḏî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3519.htm">Strong's 3519: </a> </span><span class="str2">Weight, splendor, copiousness</span><br /><br /><span class="word">whom I have indeed formed</span><br /><span class="heb">יְצַרְתִּ֖יו</span> <span class="translit">(yə·ṣar·tîw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3335.htm">Strong's 3335: </a> </span><span class="str2">To mould into a, form, as a, potter, to determine</span><br /><br /><span class="word">[and] made.”</span><br /><span class="heb">עֲשִׂיתִֽיו׃</span> <span class="translit">(‘ă·śî·ṯîw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/isaiah/43-7.htm">Isaiah 43:7 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/isaiah/43-7.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by my name (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/43-6.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 43:6"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:6" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/43-8.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 43:8"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 43:8" /></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>
