Commentary on Habakkuk 2:2

Theological / Devotional

Write. The Lord answers the faith of His servant, and encourages him in his work. Writing would give permanence to the prophet’s messages. Tables. Heb. luchoth, usually stone tablets, sometimes wooden boards. Here these were probably tablets placed in public places where all could see and read them. May run. The clause reads literally, “so that the reader of it may run,” that is, read it readily, fluently, smoothly.
