1:10

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."

light ......................... accept <0215 07521> [neither.]

pleased <02656> [I have.]

1:11

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.
