Study Note
'But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine' — the transition from judgment (chapters 40–42) to comfort is signaled by 'but now,' and the assurance is grounded in three divine acts: creation, redemption, and naming. The phrase 'I have called you by name' echoes the intimate address of Moses (Exodus 33:12) and combines personal knowledge with sovereign ownership — 'you are mine' (li atah) is the covenant possessive of Exodus 19:5. The double act of creation ('bara'') and formation ('yatsar') parallels Genesis 2:7's anthropology and places the exile community within the same creative care that brought humanity into being. The verse has been widely used in pastoral and devotional contexts as assurance of personal divine knowledge and belonging, grounded in the universal creative and saving acts of the covenant God.
