Zephaniah 1:11
_ _ Maktesh — rather, “the mortar,” a name applied to the valley of Siloam from its hollow shape [Jerome]. The valley between Zion and Mount Olivet, at the eastern extremity of Mount Moriah, where the merchants dwelt. Zechariah 14:21, “The Canaanite,” namely, merchant [Chaldee Version]. The Tyropoeon (that is, cheese-makers’) valley below Mount Akra [Rosenmuller]. Better Jerusalem itself, so called as lying in the midst of hills (Isaiah 22:1; Jeremiah 21:13) and as doomed to be the scene of its people being destroyed as corn or drugs are pounded in a mortar (Proverbs 27:22) [Maurer]. Compare the similar image of a “pot” (Ezekiel 24:3, Ezekiel 24:6). The reason for the destruction is subjoined, namely, its merchant people’s greediness of gain.
_ _ all the merchant people — literally, the “Canaanite people”: irony: all the merchant people of Jerusalem are very Canaanites in greed for gain and in idolatries (see on Hosea 12:7).
_ _ all ... that bear silver — loading themselves with that which will prove but a burden (Habakkuk 2:6). |
Zephaniah 1:11
Howl — Cry aloud, and bitterly. Maktesh — The lower town. Merchant people — Who were wont to lodge in this place. That bear silver — That brought it with them to pay for what they bought. |
Zephaniah 1:11
Howl, ye inhabitants of (g) Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
(g) This is meant of the street of the merchants which was lower than the rest of the place around it. |
