The Key Word — יַגִּ֙ישׁוּ֙, ya.Gi.shugenerated
The verb נָגַשׁ (nagash) means to approach or draw near, often implying a sense of worship or presenting an argument. In this verse, it is used in the Hiphil form, indicating an active invitation for the idols to come forward and speak.

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.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of multiple clauses, with the main verb יַגִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ (let them bring near) initiating the challenge. This verb governs the subsequent actions: telling, reflecting, and knowing, creating a series of imperatives that build upon the initial call to approach.
The structure emphasizes the sequence of commands, where the idols are urged to declare past events before being asked to reveal future ones, illustrating the logical progression of the challenge posed by God.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יַגִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ as ἐγγ, which means to draw near. This choice reflects a similar invitation for the idols to come forward, but it also emphasizes the physical act of coming closer, suggesting a confrontation.
This translation choice indicates a direct challenge to the idols, underscoring their inability to respond or act, contrasting with the Lord's omnipotence.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early commentators, such as Jerome and Theodoret of Cyrus, cite this verse to argue against the power of idols, emphasizing their inability to predict the future or demonstrate true strength.

Let them show the former things; which is not to be understood of such things as are past, for such things might easily be known by men from history, much more by the devils who possessed and acted in their idols; but of such things as should shortly come to pass, which may be better discerned than those things which are yet at a great distance.

Can the false gods predict them as the pledge and earnest of predictions that go farther? Can they see a single year before them? We note that the challenge exactly corresponds to Isaiah’s own method of giving “signs” that his words are not idly spoken (Isaiah 7:10-14; Isaiah 38:7-8). The other meaning is maintained, however, by some critics as more in harmony with Isaiah 43:18. The things “for to come” lie, as it were, in the middle future, the “hereafter” of Isaiah 41:23, in the more remote. All are alike hidden…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges22. bring them forth and shew] It is assumed that the “strong arguments” must be predictions. the former things] i.e. “things past” (from the standpoint of the speaker) as opposed to things still future (things to come). The expression (hβ-rξ’shτnτth) occurs with great frequency in the first part of this prophecy. Sometimes the stress lies on the event, sometimes on the prediction; but in reality the phrase includes both ideas—“past events as predicted.” So here the challenge is to produce past predictions which have been already verified by the event. There is no ground whatever for the view of Delitzsch and others that in this verse hβ-rξ’shτnτth refers to events still future, but in the…
