Daniel 9:5 Summary

Gill's Exposition on Daniel 9:5

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled,.... Some think there is a gradation in these words; that they had committed some sins through error and

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 9:5

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: We have sinned, and have committed iniquity - (cf.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 9:5

As if he had said, We are not only sinners, but our sin is wickedness aggravated to the height: thus much the gradation here intimates, by doing wickedly and rebelling. In our confessions of sin to God there must be no mincing nor cloaking of sin, but a full and naked discovery, with selfjudging and self-abhorrence. Note here, all along after, this holy man Daniel puts himself in the number of the greatest sinners: so when we are suppliants and penitents, we must include ourselves in the general petition.

Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 9:5

Daniel 9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:Ver. 5. We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled.] Mark how full in the mouth the good prophet is, and how he exaggerateth, confessing against himself and his people, laying on load. Good men extenuate not their offences; every sin swelleth as a toad in their eyes.

Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 9:5

(5) We have sinned.—It has been remarked that four stages of sin are pointed out by the prophet, corresponding to the four different words which he uses. “Sin” refers especially to sins of deed, “committing iniquity” to sins of word, “done wickedly” to sins of thought, “rebelled” implies the person against whom the sin has been committed. The whole result of sin under these several aspects is expressed by the words “departing from Thy precepts.”

We have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly] from 1 Kings 8:47, with extremely slight differences, indicated in R.V. by the substitution of done for dealt, and of dealt for done. Psalms 106:6 is based similarly on 1 Kings 8:47. and have turned aside from thy commandments] Cf. Deuteronomy 17:20; Psalms 119:102. ‘Even’ with the partic. is quite false; the construction of the Heb. is one with which every tyro is familiar (Genesis 41:43, Exodus 8:11, &c.). judgements] i.e. ordinances, as the word is sometimes rendered (Joshua 24:25; 2 Kings 17:34; 2 Kings 17:37; Isaiah 58:2). Properly a judicial decision, which being made legally binding, becomes a standing ordinance; the word being then generalized, it is applied to moral and religious ordinances, as well as to statutes of the civil and criminal law, Exodus 21:1). See e.g. Leviticus 18:4-5; Leviticus 18:26; Deuteronomy 4:1; Deuteronomy 4:5; Deuteronomy 4:8; Deuteronomy 4:14, &c.
