TSNTyndale Study Notes:

45:18 Ancient pagan people viewed the world as a place of empty chaos. However, God’s purposes are good, and he made the world from the beginning as a place to be lived in with him in harmony.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) not as a waste

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when thus he/it_had_said YHWH created the=heavens he/it the=ʼElohīm formed the=earth/land and,made,it he/it established,it not formlessness create,it to,inhabited formed,it I YHWH and,there_is_no again/more )

“not to be empty.” Here the word “waste” refers to an empty, barren place.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) but designed it to be inhabited

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when thus he/it_had_said YHWH created the=heavens he/it the=ʼElohīm formed the=earth/land and,made,it he/it established,it not formlessness create,it to,inhabited formed,it I YHWH and,there_is_no again/more )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “but he designed it so people could live on it”
