Malachi complains of Israel's unkindness;2. of their irreverence and profaneness. This is an oracle The term "oracle" in Hebrew is "מַשָּׂא" (massa), which can also be translated as "burden." This word suggests a weighty message, often one of judgment or significant importance. In the context of the prophetic literature, an oracle is a divine communication that carries the authority and gravity of God's voice. Historically, oracles were seen as messages that required attention and action, often delivered in times of spiritual or moral decline. The use of "oracle" here sets the tone for the entire book, indicating that what follows is not merely advice or suggestion, but a divine mandate. the word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi (1) The burden.--See Notes on Isaiah 13:1; Jeremiah 23:33-40; Zechariah 9:1; Zechariah 12:1. Malachi.--See Introduction. Verse 1. - § 1. Heading and author. The burden (Zechariah 9:1; Zechariah 12:1; see note on Nahum 1:1). The word of the Lord is heavy and full of threats, but, as St. Jerome notes, it is also consolatory, because it is not "against" but to Israel. By this name the whole covenanted nation is designated, here, perhaps, with some idea of reminding the people of Jacob's faith and patience, and stimulating them to imitate their great ancestor. By Malachi; literally, by the hand of Malachi (comp. Jeremiah 37:2). That Malachi is the proper name of the prophet, and not a mere official designation, see the proof in the Introduction, § II. The LXX. renders, ἐν χειρὶ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ, "by the hand of his angel," or" messenger," and some curious theories have been founded on this translation; e.g. that an angel was the real author of the book, or came and explained it to the people. A similar legend once obtained concerning Haggai, called" The Lord's Messenger" (Haggai 1:13). At the end of the verse the LXX. adds, "fix it in your hearts," which Jerome supposes to have been imported hither from Haggai 2:15.Parallel Commentaries ...
