Gill's Notes on the Bible
The burden of the word of the Lord,.... By which is meant the prophecy of this book, so called, not because heavy, burdensome, and distressing, either for the prophet to carry, or the people to bear; for some part of it, which respects Christ, and his forerunner, was matter of joy to the people of God; but because it was a message sent by the Lord, and carried by the prophet to the people; :- :- and this was not the word of man, but of God, a part of Scripture, by divine inspiration. The Syriac version is, "the vision of the words of the Lord": and the Arabic version, "the revelation of the word of the Lord"; and the Septuagint version, "the assumption of the word of the Lord"; it was what was revealed, made known, and delivered by the Lord to the prophet, and taken up by him, and carried to Israel, which was the general name of all the twelve tribes, when under one prince; but when the kingdom was divided, in Rehoboam's time, it was peculiar to the ten tribes, as Judah was to the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah; but after the return of these two from the Babylonish captivity, in which they were joined by some of the other tribes, it was given unto them as here:
by Malachi; or, "by the hand of Malachi" m; he was the instrument the Lord made use of; the person whom he sent, and by whom he delivered the following prophecy.
m ביד "in manu", V. L. Cocceius; "per manum", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel - o “The word of the Lord is heavy, because it is called a burden, yet it hath something of consolation, because it is not ‘against,’ but to Israel. For it is one thing when we write to this or that person; another, when we write ‘against’ this or that person; the one being the part of friendship, the other, the open admission of enmity.”
“By the hand of Malachi;” through him, as the instrument of God, deposited with him; as Paul speaks of 1 Corinthians 9:17; Titus 1:3, “the dispensation of the Gospel 2 Corinthians 5:19, the Lord of reconciliation; Galatians 2:7, the Gospel of the uncircumcision, being committed to him.”

CHAPTER I
This chapter begins with showing the great and free favour
which God had manifested to the Israelites, above what he had
done to the Edomites, who are threatened with farther marks of
the Divine displeasure; alluding, perhaps, to the calamities
which they suffered from Judas Maccabeus and John Hyrcanus,
(see 1Macc 5:65, and Joseph. Antiq. xiii. 9,) 1-5.
God then reproaches his people, and especially their priests,
for their ungrateful returns to his distinguished goodness, 6.
They are particularly charged with sacrificing the refuse of
beasts, 7-9,
for which God threatens to reject them, 10,
and choose other nations who will show more reverence to his
name and worship, 11-14.
NOTES ON CHAP. I
Verse Malachi 1:1. The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi. — This prophet is undoubtedly the last of the Jewish prophets. He lived after Zechariah and Haggai; for we find that the temple, which was begun in their time, was standing complete in his. See Malachi 3:10. Some have thought that he was contemporary with Nehemiah; indeed, several have supposed that Malachi, is no other than Ezra under the feigned name of angel of the Lord, or my angel. John the Baptist was the link that connected Malachi with Christ. According to Abp. Usher he flourished B.C. 416, but the authorized version, which we have followed in the margin, states this event to have happened nineteen years later. Both the Hebrew language and poetry had declined in his days.
Israel. - Here means the Jewish people in general.
