Fred,

To start with, you didn't quote or translate the entire verse. The ending is
"I YHWH make (or "do") all these". Doesn't quoting out of context make your
translation problematic?

George:

Thanks for your comment.

I think that I understand the forum parameters.

I can say here, for example:

עשה שלום ובורא רע אני יהוה

accurately translates into english as: "one making good and one creating
evil I God."

But I cannot say here:

"that tranlsation of isaiah 45:7 is true (or false) as a matter of fact."

Regards,

fred burlingame
