Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without,.... In the court of the Israelites, whilst Zacharias was in the holy place; though not in the holy of holies, where only the high priest entered: it looks, as Dr. Lightfoot conjectures, as if this was on a sabbath day, since there was such a multitude of people together; for on the weekday, there were only the priests and Levites of the course, and the stationary men, which represented the Israelites, and some of the more devout sort of the people; but here was the whole multitude of the people; or as the Ethiopic version renders it, "all the people were in a full congregation praying": prayer, was wont to be made at the time of incense; hence it is compared to it, Psalms 141:2. And hence it is, that Christ is said to offer up the prayers of all saints, with his much incense, Revelation 8:3
in the time of incense: whether it was morning or evening, the people were obliged to be at a distance, whilst that was burning; the Jewish canons confirm this i:
"in the time they burn the incense in the temple every day,
פורשין כל העם, "they separate all the people", from the temple, and from between the porch and the altar; there is not a man there, till he comes out that burns the incense.''
i Maimon. Hilch. Tamidin, c. 3. sect. 3. 9. & Yore. haccipurim, c. 4. sect. 2. Vid. T. Bab. Yoma, fol. 44. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The whole multitude - This was the regular time of evening prayer, and multitudes came up to the temple to worship.
Praying without - That is, in the courts around the temple, particularly in the court of the women.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 1:10. The whole multitude - were praying — The incense was itself an emblem of the prayers and praises of the people of God: see Psalms 141:2; Revelation 8:1. While, therefore, the rite is performing by the priest, the people are employed in the thing signified. Happy the people who attend to the spirit as well as the letter of every divine institution! Incense was burnt twice a day in the temple, in the morning and in the evening, Exodus 30:7-8; but the evangelist does not specify the time of the day in which this transaction took place. It was probably in the morning.
