TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:1 This is the message (literally An Oracle: The message) that the Lord gave to Israel: This superscription classifies the book of Malachi as an authoritative message from God and identifies the author and audience, though not the date or occasion. The word oracle imbues Malachi’s message with authority and urgency. His audience was expected to pay attention and respond.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַשָּׂ֥א דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה

oracle word YHWH

The editor of the book is speaking as if the word of Yahweh were a burden that Malachi was carrying. This is likely a reference to the serious nature of what Yahweh told Malachi to say. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The serious word from Yahweh”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה

word YHWH

The editor is using the word word by association to mean what Yahweh said by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “what Yahweh said”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אֶל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

to/towards Yisrael

Since Malachi is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of Israel. Alternate translation: “to the Israelites”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ⁠יַ֖ד

in/on/at/with,hand_of

The author is using one part of Malachi, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of bringing Yahweh’s message to the Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “through”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

מַלְאָכִֽי

Malʼākī

These notes follow the interpretation that the word Malachi is the name of a man. See the further discussion in the General Introduction to Malachi.

Prophets of the Old Testament after 800 B.C.

If you ask someone today what biblical prophets did, they will likely tell you that they divinely foretold of future events. While this was often the case, most prophets in the Bible focused as much on “forthtelling” God’s messages as they did on “foretelling” the future. That is, their primary role was to simply “forthtell” divinely acquired messages to leaders and groups of people, and at times that included foretelling of coming judgment, blessing, rescue, etc. Also, though plenty of prophets (sometimes called “seers” in Scripture) often spoke in confrontational or eccentric language that put them at odds with kings and religious leaders, the biblical writers also applied the term prophet to people who communicated God’s messages in ways that many readers today might not think of as prophecy, such as worship leaders appointed by David to “prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals” (1 Chronicles 25:1). Similarly, the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings are typically categorized as history by Christians, but in the Hebrew canon they belong to the category of Former Prophets. The Lord raised up prophets throughout all of biblical history, from the giving of the law under Moses to the revelation of the last days by the apostle John, and the kings of Israel and Judah often recognized and supported specific people as official prophets of the royal court and consulted them to find out God’s perspective about official matters. Following is a list of nearly everyone designated as prophet or seer in the Old Testament and the primary area of their ministry.

• Zechariah (796 B.C.) [2 Chronicles 24:20] => Jerusalem
• Jonah (780 B.C.) [2 Kings 14:25; Jonah 1:1] => Gath-hepher, Nineveh

• Nahum (650 B.C.) [Nahum 1:1] => Elkosh (Capernaum?)
