Commentary on Joel 1:16

Theological / Devotional

Meat. Heb. ’okel, food of any kind.

From the house. Inasmuch as crops were destroyed, no first fruits or thank offerings could be presented in the Temple. When the Hebrews of old brought these and other offerings to the Lord, it was a time of rejoicing (see Deut. 12:5-7). The plague put an end to this joy.
