Isaiah 45:1

His anointed] as being consecrated to carry out the purposes of Jehovah, i.e. to release Israel from Babylon. This is the only place where a non-Israelite king is so entitled. Somewhat similarly Nebuchadnezzar is called Jehovah's servant (Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10).

Whose right hand I have holden] cp. Isaiah 41:13.

Loose the loins] lit. 'ungird,' i.e. disarm.

The two leaved gates] i.e. of the cities which Cyrus attacks.
