"Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking." — Isaiah 40:26 (ASV)
Who hath created ... —The verb may be noted as a characteristic of 2 Isaiah, in which it occurs twenty times.
That bringeth out their host ... —The words expand the idea implied in Jehovah-Sabaoth . He marshals all that innumerable host of stars, as a supreme general who knows by sight and name every soldier in a vast army, or as a shepherd who knows his flock (John 10:3).
