The Biblical Illustrator - Malachi 1:7

Malachi 1:7Ye offer polluted bread upon Mine altar.The sacrament pollutedWhat closeness of attention, what concentration of thought does it not require of us, if we consider the great and comprehensive views, which animated the Saviour of the world when He instituted the sacrament of the Supper! Behold Him prepared to finish the great work, which heaven has given Him to do. He comes to substitute Himself in the room of those victims whose blood could do nothing towards the purification of... read more

Malachi 1:8If ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? Imperfect sacrificeThe old law demanded that God should be honoured with the sacrifice of a man’s best. Every oblation was to be free from spot or blemish. Such laws had their symbolic and spiritual meaning. They asserted God’s right as first and supreme. They embodied the law of sacrifice, which is the law of all holy beings, and they formed a test of the faith and love of those who professed to be worshippers of God. The reality... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Malachi 1:7

Mal 1:7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] contemptible. Ver. 7. Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar ] Bread, that is, sacrifices and oblations (so Rabbi David expounds it out of Leviticus 21:6 ; Lev 3:3 Num 28:2 ); for the Hebrews call all kind of meat by the name of bread, though it be flesh of ox, lamb, or goat, offered in sacrifice to God, whom they made account that they feasted in their... read more

Mal 1:8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. Ver. 8. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, &c. ] Their profaneness in polluting God’s altar is here further evinced and evidenced: 1. By the illegality of their practice, while they offered the blind and lame as good enough for such a contemptible altar. 2.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 1:6-14

ISRAEL’S NEGLECT OF JEHOVAH, Malachi 1:6 to Malachi 2:9. Throughout the entire history of Israel Jehovah showed himself a loving father and kind master; this would seem to entitle him to the people’s gratitude and reverence, but they fail to give him his dues (Malachi 1:6), as is clearly shown by the fact that they offer to Jehovah gifts which a human governor would reject with scorn (Malachi 1:7-8). No wonder that Jehovah refuses to listen to their prayers (Malachi 1:9). It would be far better... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 1:7-8

7, 8. The insult consists in the presentation upon Jehovah’s altar of gifts and sacrifices which they would not dare to offer to an earthly ruler. Ye offer The priests. They should have refused to accept improper offerings from the worshipers (Leviticus 22:17-25), and should have instructed them in their duties (Malachi 2:7), but they did not guard the interests of Jehovah. Bread Or, food. Here in the more specific sense of food of the Deity, that is, sacrifice, which is called bread... read more
