Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) The sin of the young men was very great.--Grave peccatum sacerdotum ob scandalurn datum laicis ("the sin of the priests was a great one, because it put a stumbling-block in the way of the people").--A. Lapide, quoted by Wordsworth. Religion was being brought into general disrepute through the conduct of its leading ministers; was it likely that piety, justice, and purity would be honoured and loved in the land of Israel when the whole ritual of the sacrifices was openly scoffed at in the great sanctuary of the people by the chief priests of their faith?Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThus the sinחַטַּ֧את (ḥaṭ·ṭaṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 2403: An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offenderof these young menהַנְּעָרִ֛ים (han·nə·‘ā·rîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 5288: A boy, lad, youth, retainerwasוַתְּהִ֨י (wat·tə·hî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, besevereגְּדוֹלָ֥ה (gə·ḏō·w·lāh)Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 1419: Great, older, insolentin the sightפְּנֵ֣י (pə·nê)Noun - common plural constructStrong's 6440: The faceof the LORD,יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelforכִּ֤י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiontheyהָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים (hā·’ă·nā·šîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 582: Man, mankind{were treating} the LORD’sיְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelofferingמִנְחַ֥ת (min·ḥaṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 4503: A donation, tribute, a sacrificial offeringwith contempt.נִֽאֲצוּ֙ (ni·’ă·ṣū)Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 5006: To spurn, treat with contemptJump to PreviousAbhorred Contempt Contemptuously Dealt Despised Honour Lord's Offering Offerings Presence Sight Sin Treated Treating Wherefore Young
