Commentary

Commentary on Malachi 1:9

Theological / Devotional

Beseech. Here Malachi pleads mightily for repentance on the part of the priests.

This hath been by your means. Literally, “This was from your hands”; or, alternatively, “Was this from your hands?” In other words, Is this action what you dare to do, or this gift what you dare to bring?

Regard your persons. See on v. 8.
