Isaiah 40:26

Lift up your eyes marom (on high, i.e. into the heavens), and behold: 1 Who hath created + 40:26 T.N. This chapter needs to be seen also in light of Acts chapter 2, and Jerusalemʼs Besurah HaGeulah proclaimed there. these things, 1 that bringeth out their tzeva'a (host, legions) by mispar (number); 1 He calleth them all b'shem (by name); 1 because of the abundance of His power and the might of His ko'ach, 1 not one [star] is missing. 1

In The King James Version

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
