1. Malachie 2:6 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why does the Lord mention these duties of the priests?

Malachie 2:6 (NEG79)

6 La loi de la vérité était dans sa bouche, Et l'iniquité ne s'est point trouvée sur ses lèvres; Il a marché avec moi dans la paix et dans la droiture, Et il a détourné du mal beaucoup d'hommes.

By mentioning these duties, the Lord exposes the failures of the Levitical priests in Malachi’s day. They failed in all these respects. They failed as teachers. They failed in turning people from sin. They failed in their own walk of life. Instead of being a source of blessing for God’s people, they only compounded Israel’s unfaithfulness.
