Malachi 02 General Notes

Special concepts in this chapter

Levites

The priests are given a strong warning in this chapter. They have not followed the law of Moses and have led the people in the wrong direction. Yahweh has not accepted their sacrifices. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses)

Marital unfaithfulness

Because the Jews lived under a covenantal arrangement with Yahweh, their relationship is described using the imagery of a marriage. Marital unfaithfulness indicates a person's unfaithfulness to Yahweh. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/unfaithful and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
