Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — God's Revelation of New Thingsgenerated
Isaiah 48:6 emphasizes God's desire for His people to recognize His past revelations and prepares them for new insights. This call to awareness is set against the backdrop of Israel's history of disobedience and misunderstanding, as God seeks to unveil truths that have been hidden from them. The surrounding verses reinforce the theme of God's unique authority in declaring what is to come, contrasting it with the idols that cannot speak or foresee.

The Key Word — שָׁמַ֤עְתָּֽ, sha.Ma'.tagenerated
The verb שָׁמַע (sha.Ma') means 'to hear' and implies not just passive hearing but active listening with attention and obedience. This word is often used in contexts where God speaks to His people, urging them to heed His words and respond appropriately.
In this verse, the perfect tense indicates a completed action, suggesting that the people have indeed heard God's previous declarations but may not have fully acknowledged their significance. The emphasis on attentive hearing sets the stage for God's forthcoming revelations.
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 main verb שָׁמַ֤עְתָּֽ, you have heard, governs the entire verse, with several clauses and phrases branching from it. The structure highlights a sequence of actions: hearing, seeing, and acknowledging, which flow logically as a call to action.
The use of imperative verbs like חֲזֵה֙ (look at) and the interrogative הֲל֣וֹא (will you not) further emphasizes the urgency of God's message and the expectation of a response from the people.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שָׁמַ֤עְתָּֽ as ἠκούσατε, indicating an active listening that aligns with the Hebrew meaning. This choice reinforces the expectation that the audience must not only hear but also understand and respond to God's words.
The Greek word חֲזֵה֙ is rendered as ἰδεῖτε, which carries a similar imperative meaning to see or perceive, aligning with the call for recognition in the Hebrew text.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Isaiah 48:6 reminds the people that they have heard God's words and urges them to look and recognize His revelations. God promises to share new and hidden truths that they have not known before, emphasizing His unique authority to declare what is to come.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
To acknowledge means to recognize and respond to what God has revealed, understanding its significance in our lives.
God emphasizes new things to show that His revelation is ongoing and that He has fresh insights for His people that they have not previously understood.
Being attentive involves actively listening to Scripture, seeking understanding through prayer, and being open to the new insights God may reveal.
Hidden truths can include deeper understandings of His character, insights into our lives, or revelations about His plans for the future.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What new truths has God revealed to me recently?
- How can I better acknowledge and respond to God's revelations in my life?
- In what ways can I cultivate a habit of attentive listening to God's word?
- What hidden things might God be wanting to show me that I have not yet perceived?

Strictly literal
Thou heardest, see all this; — and ye, will not ye declare [it]? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:
Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.

Simplified
You've heard all I predicted, and seen it happen. Won't you admit it? Now I'm going to tell you new things, secrets you don't know anything about.
All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint show significant agreement, with 10 out of 12 words matched. The Dead Sea Scrolls provide partial restorations, indicating some editorial input but preserving the core message of the verse.
