Commentary on Malachi 1:10

Theological / Devotional

Who is there? The prophet rebukes those serving the Temple in a mercenary spirit, those who did not perform their work for God faithfully and efficiently, though they were remunerated for even the smallest service.

Offering. Heb. minchah, ordinarily the “meal,” or “cereal,” offering (see on Lev. 2:1). Perhaps the prophet here means that these meal offerings, which were not naturally polluted, were unacceptable to God because of the wrong spirit in which they were offered.
