Gill's Notes on the Bible
And now, O ye priests,.... 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:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And now this is My commandment unto you - , not a commandment, which He gave them, but a commandment in regard to them. As God said of old, upon obedience , “I will command My blessing unto you,” so now He would command what should reach them, but a curse. “He returns from the people to the priests, as the fountain of the evil, whose carelessness about things sacred he had rebuked before. Let the priests of the new law hear this rebuke of God, and conceive it dictated to them by the Holy Spirit to hear, from whom God rightly requires greater holiness, and so will punish them more grievously, if careless or scandalous in their office.” All Christians are, in some sense 1 Peter 2:9, “a royal, holy priesthood,” over and above the special “Christian priesthood;” as the Jews, over and above the special priesthood of Aaron, were a Exodus 19:6, “kingdom of priests.” What follows then belongs, in their degree, to them and their duties.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER II
The priests reproved for their unfaithfulness in their office,
for which they are threatened to be deprived of their share of
the sacrifice, (the shoulder,) and rewarded only with ignominy
and ordure, 1-3.
The degeneracy of the order is then complained of, and they are
again threatened, 4-9.
The rest of the chapter reproves the people for marrying
strange and idolatrous women; and multiplying divorces, with
all their consequent distress, in order to make way for such
illicit alliances, 10-17.
See Nehemiah 10:30; Nehemiah 13:27-30, &c.
