SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:1
ΒΆ Ahora, pues, oh sacerdotes, para vosotros es este mandamiento.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And now, O ye priests , etc.] That despised and profaned the name of the Lord; that suffered such corrupt and illegal sacrifices to be brought and offered up: this commandment [is] for you : of giving glory to the name of God; of taking care of his worship; of teaching the people knowledge, and directing them in the way in which they should walk; as follows:
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - What is here said of the covenant of priesthood, is true of the covenant of grace made with all believers, as spiritual priests. It is a covenant of life and peace; it assures all believers of all happiness, both in this world and in that to come. It is an honour to God's servants to be employed as his messengers. The priest's lip should not keep knowledge from his people, but keep it for them. The people are all concerned to know the will of the Lord. We must not onl consult the written word, but desire instruction and advice from God' messengers, in the affairs of our souls. Ministers must exer themselves to the utmost for the conversion of sinners; and even amon those called Israelites, there are many to be turned from iniquity Those ministers, and those only, are likely to turn men from sin, wh preach sound doctrine, and live holy lives according to the Scripture Many departed from this way; thus they misled the people. Such as wal with God in peace and righteousness, and turn others from sin, honou God; he will honour them, while those who despise him shall be lightl esteemed.
