이사야 66:2-4 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:3

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man ; literally, is a manslayer. The full meaning seems to be, "He that, not being of a poor and contrite spirit, would offer me an ox in sacrifice, is as little pleasing to me as a murderer." Sacrifice, without the true spirit of sacrifice, is an abomination (comp. Isaiah 1:11 , "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord," etc.). There, however, the sacrifices are actually offered; here they are hypothetical. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:3-4

The rebuke of unrighteousness. We have— I. FOUR OFFENCES SPECIALLY HATEFUL TO THE HOLY ONE . 1 . Insincerity. These worshippers who brought their bullocks, their lambs, their prescribed oblations, were as guilty in the judgment of God as if they brought to his altar that which was an abomination in his sight. Their guilt lay in their insincerity; their heart was far from God when their feet were nigh his house. 2 . Heedlessness. When God calls and we pay no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:4

Their delusions ; or, their childish follies ( LXX ; ἐμπαίγματα ) . As God sends on some men "strong delusion that they should believe a lie" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11 ), so on others he sends a spirit of childish folly, which makes their conduct silly and headstrong. Persons whose characters are of this stamp are especially liable to vain and groundless "fears." When I called, none did answer (comp. Isaiah 65:12 , and see the comment on that passage). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:2

For all those things hath mine hand made - That is the heaven and the earth, and all that is in them. The sense is, ‘I have founded for myself a far more magnificent and appropriate temple than you can make; I have formed the heavens as my dwelling-place, and I need not a dwelling reared by the hand of man.’And all those things have been - That is, have been made by me, or for me. The Septuagint renders it, ‘All those things are mine?’ Jerome renders it, ‘All those things were made;’ implying... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:3

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man - Lowth and Noyes render this, ‘He that slayeth an ox, killeth a man.’ This is a literal translation of the Hebrew. Jerome renders it, ‘He who sacrifices an ox is as if (quasi) he slew a man.’ The Septuagint, in a very free translation - such as is common in their version of Isaiah - render it, ‘The wicked man who sacrifices a calf, is as he who kills a dog; and he who offers to me fine flour, it is as the blood of swine.’ Lowth supposes the sense to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:4

I also will choose their delusions - Margin, ‘Devices.’ The Hebrew word rendered here ‘delusions’ and ‘devices’ (תעלוּלים ta‛ălûlı̂ym) properly denotes petulance, sauciness; and then vexation, adverse destiny, from עלל ‛âlal, to do, to accomplish, to do evil, to maltreat. It is not used in the sense of delusions, or devices; and evidently here means the same as calamity or punishment. Compare the Hebrew in Lamentations 1:22. Lowth and Noyes render it, Calamities; though Jerome and the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 66:1-2

Isaiah 66:1-2. Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne That is, the throne of my glory and government; the place where I most manifest my power, and show myself in my majesty. Hence we are taught to pray, Our Father which art in heaven. And the earth is my footstool Or, a place on which I set my feet, (Matthew 5:35,) overruling all the affairs of it according to my will. Where is the house that ye build me? Can there be a house built that will contain me, who encompass and fill... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 66:3

Isaiah 66:3. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man Without this humble and devout temper of mind, killing an ox for a burnt-offering is no more acceptable to God than if a man offered his son in sacrifice to Moloch. “God here shows that the external ritual worship, offered to him by hypocrites and wicked persons, void of faith and virtue, was no more estimable in his sight than the material temple above spoken of; but that he was as much offended by the ritual worship of the impure,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 66:4

Isaiah 66:4. I also will choose their delusions I will punish them in their own way, and set those over them as teachers who shall govern them by their traditions instead of my word. Or, I will suffer false Christs and false prophets to deceive them, Matthew 24:24; John 5:43. And I will bring their fears upon them This was exactly fulfilled when, as they crucified Christ for fear of the Romans, (John 11:48,) that very sin was punished with their utter destruction by the Romans. Because... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:1-6

Attitudes towards ritual (66:1-6)This chapter continues the contrast between the majority of Israel who were the people of God in name only, and the godly minority who were his true people. The returning exiles were glad to hear that the temple was to be rebuilt, but the prophet reminds them that they are mistaken if they think that God’s sole dwelling place is a temple. God dwells everywhere. They are also mistaken if they think that God’s chief requirement for people is that they carry out... read more
