Commentary on Malachi 2:10

Theological / Devotional

One father. Malachi himself is speaking. In view of the context it is probable that he is referring to God Himself as their Father (see on ch. 1:6) rather than to Abraham or some other human being.

One God created us. Of all peoples of ancient times the Jews alone honored God preeminently and distinctively as the Creator, as indicated in the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment of the Decalogue (see Ex. 20:8-11). Thus it behooved them above all others to treat their fellow men as brothers. We may rightly expect today that those who honor God as the Creator should consider all men as brothers.
