Footnotes

  1. 1 Beginning with 4:1, the verse numbers through 4:6 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (), with 4:1 = 3:19 , 4:2 = 3:20 , etc., through 4:6 = 3:24 . Thus the book of Malachi in the Hebrew Bible has only three chapters, with 24 verses in ch. 3.
  2. 2 This day is the well-known “day of the Lord” so pervasive in OT eschatological texts (see Joel 2:30–31; Amos 5:18; Obad 15). For the believer it is a day of grace and salvation; for the sinner, a day of judgment and destruction.
  3. 3 Heb “so that it” (so , ). For stylistic reasons a new sentence was begun here in the translation.
