歴代誌Ⅱ 29:20-29 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:29

And when they had made an end of offering ,.... Both the sin offering and the burnt offering: the king and all that were with him bowed themselves and worshipped ; towards the place where the ark was, giving thanks for the purging of the temple, and restoring the worship of it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:21

They brought seven bullocks , etc. - This was more than the law required; see Leviticus 4:13 , etc. It ordered one calf or ox for the sins of the people, and one he-goat for the sins of the prince; but Hezekiah here offers many more. And the reason appears sufficiently evident: the law speaks only of sins of ignorance; but here were sins of every kind and every die - idolatry, apostasy from the Divine worship, profanation of the temple, etc., etc. The sin-offerings, we are... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:23

They laid their hands upon them - That is, they confessed their sin; and as they had by their transgression forfeited their lives, they now offer these animals to die as vicarious offerings, their life being taken for the life of their owners. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:25

With cymbals , with psalteries - Moses had not appointed any musical instruments to be used in the divine worship; there was nothing of the kind under the first tabernacle. The trumpets or horns then used were not for song nor for praise, but as we use bells, i.e., to give notice to the congregation of what they were called to perform, etc. But David did certainly introduce many instruments of music into God's worship, for which we have already seen he was solemnly reproved by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

The reformation of Hezekiah-the thing done suddenly. Hezekiah was the thirteenth of the twenty kings of the line of Judah; but when his reign of twenty-nine years had run to its end, as many as two hundred and eighty-two yearn had sped away of the three hundred and ninety-two of the duration of the line up to the date of the Captivity. It may also be remembered that, of the seven reigns following upon that of Hezekiah, two (those of Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin) lasted only three months each.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:20

The rulers of the city are its chief citizens —Hebrew, שָׂרֵי הָעִיר ( 2 Chronicles 24:17 ; 2 Chronicles 30:1-4 )—who bring contributions of sacrificial victims, the word being generally rendered "princes," read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:20-24

Confession, propitiation, consecration. By the sacrifices now offered to Jehovah, by the sin offerings and the burnt offerings, the king and the representatives of the people laying their hands upon the heads of the slain animals ( 2 Chronicles 29:23 ), three distinct sentiments were expressed, three several spiritual states were passed through—confession of sin, atonement offered for sin, consecration of themselves to the service of God. Here was made the most public and solemn... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:20-36

The re-dedication of the temple. I. THE TIME OF THE CEREMONY . Early on the following morning. Hezekiah lost not a moment in entering upon the good work his heart contemplated ( 2 Chronicles 29:10 ), rising up with next day's dawn, gathering the rulers of the city, and proceeding with them to the house of the Lord. In this he acted in accordance with Jehovah's instructions to Moses at Sinai ( Exodus 34:2 ); with the example of Abraham ( Genesis 22:2 ), Jacob ( Genesis... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:21

There is diversity of opinion, whether the seven bullocks ( פָרִים ), seven rams ( אֵילִים ), seven lambs ( כְבָשִׁים ) were burnt offering ( עוֹלָה ), or, with the seven he-goats ( צְפִירֵי עִזּים ), were sin offering ( חַטָּאת ). Some think (as, for instance, Canon Rawlinson) that they were sin offering, as the account of the offering of them ( 2 Chronicles 29:22 ) takes priority for them over the he-goats; others (as Bertheau, Professor J. G. Murphy,... read more
