Commentary

Commentary on Nahum 1:15

Theological / Devotional

Good tidings. An exclamation of joy over the defeat of the enemy of God’s people (see on Isa. 52:7). Nahum 1:15 is the first verse of ch. 2 in both the Hebrew and the Syriac.

Keep thy solemn feasts. With the reestablishment of peace it would once more be possible for the people of Judah to celebrate the great religious festivals (see on Ex. 23:14-17; Lev. 23:2; Deut. 16:16). The prophet Nahum pleads with his people to enter wholeheartedly into the spirit of these solemn occasions in order that God might bless and prosper the nation (see pp. 26-28).

Vows. In gratitude for their deliverance the Israelites are to redeem the vows they had made in times of trouble and danger.

Pass through. See v. 12.

Utterly cut off. See on v. 9.
