BS"D KNOW YOUR BIBLE: Isaiah 45-46
Study Notes by Avraham ben Yaakov
ISAIAH CHAPTER 45
Having mentioned King Cyrus of Persia in the last verse of the previous
chapter, Isaiah now begins to prophesy that he would conquer Babylon in
order to allow the people of Judah to return to Jerusalem and rebuild
the Temple.
"So says HaShem to His anointed, to Cyrus…" (v 1). The plain meaning of
the text is that God is addressing Cyrus, who as a king is called
"anointed" (MASHIACH). However, on the level of DRASH, He is addressing
His truly anointed Melech HaMashiach, complaining about Cyrus because
God asked him to build the Temple and gather in the exiles, but instead
of doing the job himself, he merely gave permission to the Jews to go up
to Jerusalem and to build the Temple themselves (Ezra 1:3; Megillah
12a). According to this interpretation, verse 4 in our present chapter,
"I have named you though you have not known Me", is a complaint that God
named Cyrus long before his birth (i.e. in this prophecy) yet he did
not "know" God in the sense that he did not do what God wanted, because
he threw the whole burden of building the Temple off his own shoulders
(see Rashi on verse 4).
