Haggai 1:8

Verse 8

mountain = hill country.

take pleasure = he pleased therewith.

I will be glorified = I will get Me honour. Hebrew text has 'ekkabda. This is one in a list of twenty-nine words which are without the letter He (= H) at the end (see Ginshurg's Massorah, vol. I, p. 281). App-30 . This letter = five ( App-10 ), and later Talmudists regard it as betokening the fact that five things were lacking in the second Temple, viz.: (1) the ark; (2) the sacred fire; (3) the Shekinah; (4) the Urim and Thummim; and (5) the spirit of prophecy. This list is to safeguard ( App-93 ) the other occurrences of the word, which have this letter at the end, among them being Exodus 14:4 , Exodus 14:17 . These constitute a reference to Pent, with Leviticus 10:3 (which, like Haggai 1:8 , is without the). App-92 .

saith the LORD = hath said Jehovah.
