Habakkuk 2:2
_ _ Write the vision — which I am about to reveal to thee.
_ _ make it plain — (Deuteronomy 27:8). In large legible characters.
_ _ upon tables — boxwood tables covered with wax, on which national affairs were engraved with an iron pen, and then hung up in public, at the prophets’ own houses, or at the temple, that those who passed might read them. Compare Luke 1:63, “writing table,” that is, tablet.
_ _ that he may run that readeth it — commonly explained, “so intelligible as to be easily read by any one running past”; but then it would be, “that he that runneth may read it.” The true sense is, “so legible that whoever readeth it, may run to tell all whom he can the good news of the foe’s coming doom, and Judah’s deliverance.” Compare Daniel 12:4, “many shall run to and fro,” namely, with the explanation of the prophecy, then unsealed; also, Revelation 22:17, “let him that heareth (the good news) say (to every one within his reach), Come.” “Run” is equivalent to announce the divine revelation (Jeremiah 23:21); as everyone who becomes informed of a divine message is bound to run, that is, use all dispatch to make it known to others [Henderson]. Grotius, Ludovicus De Dieu, and Maurer interpret it: “Run” is not literal running, but “that he who reads it may run through it,” that is, read it at once without difficulty. |
Habakkuk 2:2
Upon tables — What was of publick concern, and therefore to be published, was anciently written or engraven upon tables, smooth stones, or wood, and then hung up in a publick place to be read. May run — That none may need to stop, but every one may plainly and clearly discern what is written. |
Habakkuk 2:2
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tablets, that he may run (b) that readeth it.
(b) Write it in great letters, that he that runneth may read it. |
