Malachi 1:8-13

sacrifice <02076> [for sacrifice, Heb. to sacrifice. or accept.]

God's <0410> [God. Heb. the face of God.]
hands <03027> [by your means. Heb. from your hand. will he.]
close <05462> [Who.]
Instead of {mi,} "who," one MS. (30 K.) with the LXX reads {ki,} "surely," which is adopted by Houbigant and Abp. Newcome, who renders, "Surely the doors shall be closed against you, neither shall ye kindle the fire of my altar in vain."
close <05462> [even.]
light ......................... accept <0215 07521> [neither.]
pleased <02656> [I have.]
east <04217> [from.]
As the preceding verse was a prediction of the abolition of the Levitical priesthood, so this is a prophecy of the conversion of the Gentiles, and the spiritual priesthood of the Gospel times. As none but priests of Aaron's race might burn incense before Jehovah, a total change of the external administration of the sacred ordinances is evidently predicted.
