‏ Isaiah 45:2



2I will go before you
and level mountains.
tc The form הֲדוּרִים (hadurim) is difficult. It may need to be emended to an original הָרָרִים (hararim, “mountains”), the reduplicated form of הָר (har, “mountain”). 1QIsaa and the LXX support an unambiguous text of “mountains.”

Bronze doors I will shatter
and iron bars
tn That is, on the gates. Cf. CEV “break the iron bars on bronze gates.”
I will hack through.
