彌迦書 1:1-2 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 1:1-7

Here is, I. A general account of this prophet and his prophecy, Mic. 1:1. This is prefixed for the satisfaction of all that read and hear the prophecy of this book, who will give the more credit to it when they know the author and his authority. 1. The prophecy is the word of the Lord; it is a divine revelation. Note, What is written in the Bible, and what is preached by the ministers of Christ according to what is written there, must be heard and received, not as the word of dying men, which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 1:1

The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite ,.... So called, either from Mareshah, mentioned Micah 1:15 ; and was a city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:44 ; as the Targum, Jarchi, Kimchi, and Zacutus F9 Juchashin, fol. 12. 1. ; or rather from Moresheth, from which Moreshethgath, Micah 1:14 ; is distinguished; which Jerom F11 Prolog. in Mic. says was in his time a small village in the land of Palestine, near Eleutheropolis. Some think these two cities to be one... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 1:2

Hear, all ye people ,.... Or, "the people, all of them" F13 עמים כלם "populi omnes ipsi", Montanus, Drusius, Piscator, Tarnovius. ; not all the nations of the world, but the nations of Israel, so called from their several tribes; though some F14 So Burkius. think the rest of the inhabitants of the earth are meant: thee are the same words which are used by Micaiah the prophet in the times of Ahab, long before this time, from whom they might be borrowed, 1 Kings 22:28 . The... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:1

The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite - For all authentic particulars relative to this prophet, see the introduction. In the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah - These three kings reigned about threescore years; and Micah is supposed to have prophesied about forty or fifty years; but no more of his prophecies have reached posterity than what are contained in this book, nor is there any evidence that any more was written. His time appears to have been spent chiefly in... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:2

Hear, all ye people - The very commencement of this prophecy supposes preceding exhortations and predictions. Hearken, O earth - ארץ arets , here, should be translated land, the country of the Hebrews being only intended. And let the Lord God be Witness - Let him who has sent me with this message be witness that I have delivered it faithfully; and be a witness against you, if you take not the warning. The Lord from his holy temple - The place where he still remains as your... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:1

Verse 1 This inscription, in the first place, shows the time in which Micah lived, and during which God employed his labors. And this deserves to be noticed: for at this day his sermons would be useless, or at least frigid, except his time were known to us, and we be thereby enabled to compare what is alike and what is different in the men of his age, and in those of our own: for when we understand that Micah condemned this or that vice, as we may also learn from the other Prophets and from... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:2

Verse 2 The Prophet here rises into an elevated style, being not content with a simple and calm manner of speaking. We hence may learn, that having previously tried the disposition of the people, he knew the stubbornness of almost all classes: for except he was persuaded that the people would be rebellious and obstinate, he would certainly have used some mildness, or have at least endeavored to lead them of their own accord rather than to drive them thus violently. There is then no doubt but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:1

The inscription, or heading of the book, conveying the prophet's authority. The word of the Lord. The expression applies to the whole contents of the book, as in Hosea 1:1 and Zephaniah 1:1 . It is often used for some particular message to a prophet, as Jeremiah 1:4 , Jeremiah 1:11 ; Jeremiah 2:1 ; Ezekiel 3:16 . Micah the Morasthite; i.e. Micah of Moresheth-Gath (verse 14), a village in the lowland of Judaea, near Eleutheropolis, some twenty miles southwest of Jerusalem (see... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:1

True spiritual teachers. A preface is often regarded as of comparative unimportance, and many readers ignore it and pass on to the perusal of the work itself. Let not this preface to the Book of Micah be thus summarily dismissed. Every word of God is "profitable." This introductory verse is very suggestive of teachings bearing upon holy service in the cause of God in our own age. The Hebrew prophets were not merely foretellers; they were also the religious educators of the people amongst... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:1-2

Divine revelation. "The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth," etc. Micah calls himself a Morasthite because he was a native of Moresheth-Gath, a small town of Judea. He prophesied in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and his prophetic mission commenced soon after that of Isaiah. He was contemporary with him, as... read more
