The Key Word — חֲדָשָׁה֙, cha.da.Shahgenerated
The adjective חָדָשׁ (chadash) means 'new' or 'fresh,' indicating something that has been recently created or renewed. It is used to express the idea of novelty and transformation, emphasizing that God's actions are not merely a continuation of the past but a radical departure into something unprecedented.
This word appears in contexts that highlight God's creative power, such as in the creation of a new heaven and earth. Its usage here underscores the divine promise of renewal and the breaking forth of new life in places that seem desolate.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB has new, which aligns with the KJV and ASV, all conveying the idea of something recently created.
Where translations differ is with עַתָּ֣ה — now. The BSB, KJV, ASV, and others render it as now, while the FBV opts for already, indicating a slight difference in emphasis on timing.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse's main predicate is עֹשֶׂ֤ה, about to do, which governs the entire statement. It is followed by a direct object חֲדָשָׁה֙, new, and an adverbial phrase עַתָּ֣ה, now, indicating immediacy.
The structure emphasizes God's intention to act in the present, with the following clauses detailing the nature of His actions: creating a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert, which further illustrates the transformative power of His promise.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates עֹשֶׂ֤ה as ποιῶ (poieō), meaning 'to make' or 'to do.' This choice reflects a direct and active engagement in creation, aligning with the Hebrew meaning while also emphasizing the act of bringing forth something new.
The Greek term καινὰ (kaina) for חֲדָשָׁה֙ captures the essence of novelty, reinforcing the idea of a fresh start or renewal that God is proclaiming.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text presents Isaiah 43:19 as "הִנְנִ֨י עֹשֶׂ֤ה חֲדָשָׁה֙ עַתָּ֣ה תִצְמָ֔ח הֲל֖וֹא תֵֽדָע֑וּהָ אַ֣ף אָשִׂ֤ים בַּמִּדְבָּר֙ דֶּ֔רֶךְ בִּֽישִׁמ֖וֹן נְהָרֽוֹת׃" The Septuagint aligns closely with the Masoretic Text, matching 12 of the 13 words, although the word order and articles differ. The Dead Sea Scrolls — 1Qisaa also closely follows the Masoretic Text, with a similar wording, while the 4Q61 manuscript has significant portions restored by an editor, indicating that it may not fully represent the original text. Overall, the primary witnesses largely agree with the Masoretic Text, with minor variations in wording and order, except for the 4Q61 which has more extensive editorial restoration.
הִנְנִ֨י עֹשֶׂ֤ה חֲדָשָׁה֙ עַתָּ֣ה תִצְמָ֔ח הֲל֖וֹא תֵֽדָע֑וּהָ אַ֣ף אָשִׂ֤ים בַּמִּדְבָּר֙ דֶּ֔רֶךְ בִּֽישִׁמ֖וֹן נְהָרֽוֹת׃
12 of the 13 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
