Commentary

Commentary on Malachi 2:12

Theological / Devotional

Master. Literally, “the one arousing.”

Scholar. Literally, “the one answering.” “Master” probably refers to the watchman, or sentinel, and “scholar” to the people or soldiers aroused to action by the watchman. In other words, though the transgressors of Judah sense the oncoming danger, their lack of repentance makes it certain that they will all be “cut off.”

Tabernacles. Or, “dwellings.”

Offering. Heb. minchah (see on ch. 1:10).
