Isaiah 43 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in this chapter.
Special concepts in this chapter
Exodus
This chapter pictures Judah's eventual return from exile in Babylon as a kind of second exodus. It was reminiscent of their exodus from Egypt.
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Exile
This chapter prophesies about the Jews return from Babylon, but the exile has yet to happen and is still more than a hundred years in the future. These events will show that Yahweh alone is God. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)
