Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) Did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel? . . .--After such glorious privileges had been conferred on this favoured house, and such ample provision for all its wants had been made for it, it was indeed a crime of the blackest ingratitude that its leading members should pour dishonour on their invisible King and Benefactor.To wear an ephod before me.--This included the privilege, which belonged to the head of the house of Aaron, the reigning high priest, of entering the Holy of Holies--that lightless inner sanctuary where the visible presence of the Eternal was ever and anon pleased to dwell--and also the possession of the mysterious Urim and Thummim, by which enquiry could be made of the will of the invisible King of Israel.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd out of allמִכָּל־ (mik·kāl)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe tribesשִׁבְטֵ֨י (šiḇ·ṭê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 7626: Rod, staff, club, scepter, tribeof Israelיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descI selectedוּבָחֹ֣ר (ū·ḇā·ḥōr)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 977: To try, select[your father]אֹ֠תוֹ (’ō·ṯōw)Direct object marker | third person masculine singularStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative caseto be My priest,לְכֹהֵ֔ן (lə·ḵō·hên)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3548: Priestto offer sacrificesלַעֲל֣וֹת (la·‘ă·lō·wṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 5927: To ascend, in, activelyonעַֽל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstMy altar,מִזְבְּחִ֗י (miz·bə·ḥî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 4196: An altarto burnלְהַקְטִ֥יר (lə·haq·ṭîr)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 6999: To smoke, turn into fragrance by fireincense,קְטֹ֛רֶת (qə·ṭō·reṯ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 7004: Smoke, odor of (burning) sacrifice, incenseand to wearלָשֵׂ֥את (lā·śêṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 5375: To lift, carry, takean ephodאֵפ֖וֹד (’ê·p̄ō·wḏ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 646: A girdle, the ephod, highpriest's shoulder-piece, an imagein My presence.לְפָנָ֑י (lə·p̄ā·nāy)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common singularStrong's 6440: The faceI also gaveוָֽאֶתְּנָה֙ (wā·’et·tə·nāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setto the houseלְבֵ֣ית (lə·ḇêṯ)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1004: A houseof your fatherאָבִ֔יךָ (’ā·ḇî·ḵā)Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 1: Fatherallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe offeringsאִשֵּׁ֖י (’iš·šê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 801: A burnt-offering, a sacrificeof the Israelites {made by fire}.בְּנֵ֥י (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A sonJump to PreviousAltar Burn Carry Children Choose Ephod House Incense Israel Offer Offerings Priest Priests Tribes Wear
