3:7“The Lord who rules over all says, ‘If you live8 and work according to my requirements, you will be able to preside over my temple9 and attend to my courtyards, and I will allow you to come and go among these others who are standing by you.
Footnotes
- 8 Heb “walk,” a frequent biblical metaphor for lifestyle or conduct; “If you [+ truly ] obey.” To “walk” in the ways of the Lord is to live life as he intends (cf. Deut 8:6; 10:12–22; 28:9).
- 9 The statement you will be able to preside over my temple (Heb “house,” a reference to the Jerusalem temple) is a hint of the increasingly important role the high priest played in the postexilic Jewish community, especially in the absence of a monarchy. It also suggests the messianic character of the eschatological priesthood in which the priest would have royal prerogatives.
