Verse 1
Malachi 1:1 contains the title, which is similar to that in Zechariah 12:1 (compare also the common translation of Zechariah 9:1, but see comment there).
Burden See on Nahum 1:1.
Word of Jehovah See on Hosea 1:1.
Israel Not in the narrow sense, the northern kingdom (Amos 1:1), but the entire postexilic community, whether descendants of the northern tribes or of Judah.
By Malachi Literally, by the hand of Malachi (compare Haggai 1:1). See Introduction, p. 687.
