Commentary on Malachi 2:11

Theological / Devotional

Judah. The whole nation was guilty of departure from God.

Holiness. Probably a reference to the Temple. As the place of God’s presence (see Ex. 25:8), it was “profaned” by the people’s sinful conduct.

Married the daughter. The LXX translates the last clause, “and has gone after other gods.”
