Malachi 1:7
_ _ ye offer, etc. — God’s answer to their challenge (Malachi 1:6), “Wherein have we despised?”
_ _ polluted bread — namely, blemished sacrifices (Malachi 1:8, Malachi 1:13, Malachi 1:14; Deuteronomy 15:21). So “the bread of thy God” is used for “sacrifices to God” (Leviticus 21:8).
_ _ polluted thee — that is, offered to thee “polluted bread.”
_ _ table of the Lord — that is, the altar (Ezekiel 41:22) (not the table of showbread). Just as the sacrificial flesh is called “bread.”
_ _ contemptible — (Malachi 1:12, Malachi 1:13). Ye sanction the niggardly and blemished offerings of the people on the altar, to gain favor with them. Darius, and probably his successors, had liberally supplied them with victims for sacrifice, yet they presented none but the worst. A cheap religion, costing little, is rejected by God, and so is worth nothing. It costs more than it is worth, for it is worth nothing, and so proves really dear. God despises not the widow’s mite, but he does despise the miser’s mite [Moore]. |
Malachi 1:7
Bread — Either the meal — offerings, or rather in a more large sense, all sacrifices and oblations. Ye say — Perhaps in words; at least your deeds speak your thoughts. The table — This comprehends all that was offered to God. |
Malachi 1:7
Ye offer (f) polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of
the LORD [is] (g) contemptible.
(f) You receive all types of offerings for your own greediness, and do not examine whether they are according to my Law or not.
(g) Not that they said this, but by their doings they declared it. |
- Ye offer:
- etc. or, Bring unto my, etc
|
- polluted:
Leviticus 2:11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
Leviticus 21:6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, [and] the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
Deuteronomy 15:21 And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.

- The table:
Malachi 1:12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] polluted; and the fruit thereof, [even] his meat, [is] contemptible.
1 Samuel 2:15-17 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. ... Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
Ezekiel 41:22 The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table that [is] before the LORD.
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
1 Corinthians 11:21-22 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. ... What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.
1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ... But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
