Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Into the house of feasting.--Literally, the house of drinking, i.e., in this case, as interpreted by the next verse, of festive and mirthful gathering. This prohibition follows a fortiori from the other. If it was unmeet for the prophet to enter into the house of mourning, much more was he to hold himself aloof from mirth. He was to stand apart, in the awful consciousness of his solitary mission. The words of Ecclesiastes 7:2 come to our thoughts as teaching that it was better even so.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewYou must notלֹא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noenterתָב֖וֹא (ṯā·ḇō·w)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goa houseוּבֵית־ (ū·ḇêṯ-)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1004: A housewhere there is feastingמִשְׁתֶּ֥ה (miš·teh)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4960: Drink, drinking, a banquet, feastand sit downלָשֶׁ֣בֶת (lā·še·ḇeṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marrywith themאוֹתָ֑ם (’ō·w·ṯām)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's 854: Nearness, near, with, by, at, amongto eatלֶאֱכֹ֖ל (le·’ĕ·ḵōl)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 398: To eatand drink.וְלִשְׁתּֽוֹת׃ (wə·liš·tō·wṯ)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 8354: To imbibeJump to PreviousBanqueting Drink Eat Enter Feasting Food House Moreover Seated Sit
