Context — A Warning to the Priests
5“My covenant with him was one of life and peace, which I gave to him; it called for reverence, and he revered Me and stood in awe of My name.
6True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.
7For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts.
8But you have departed from the way, and your instruction has caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts. 9“So I in turn have made you despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”Cross References

Malachi 2:7 Summary
[This verse is saying that priests, or spiritual leaders, should be people who know and teach God's Word, and that we should look to them for guidance and instruction, just like the Israelites looked to Moses for leadership in Exodus 18:13-27. As messengers of the Lord, they have a special role in sharing God's wisdom and knowledge with us. By seeking instruction from them, we can gain a deeper understanding of God's will for our lives and how to live according to His ways, as taught in Psalm 119:105 where the Word of God is a lamp to our feet.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of a priest according to Malachi 2:7?
According to Malachi 2:7, a priest should preserve knowledge and provide instruction to the people, as they are messengers of the Lord of Hosts, similar to how Moses was a messenger of God in Exodus 4:10-16.
Why should people seek instruction from a priest?
People should seek instruction from a priest because they are representatives of God, and their words should reflect the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord, as seen in Deuteronomy 17:8-13 where the priests were to teach the law.
What is the significance of the phrase 'messenger of the LORD of Hosts'?
The phrase 'messenger of the LORD of Hosts' emphasizes the priest's role as a representative of God, carrying the authority and message of the Lord, similar to the prophets in Isaiah 6:1-13 who were also messengers of God.
How does this verse relate to the modern-day church?
This verse emphasizes the importance of spiritual leaders being knowledgeable and faithful in their teaching, as seen in 1 Timothy 4:13 where Timothy is instructed to give attention to the public reading of Scripture and to preaching.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can seek instruction from spiritual leaders in my life, and how can I apply their teaching to my daily walk with God?
- In what ways can I, as a believer, be a messenger of the Lord to those around me, sharing the knowledge and wisdom of God with others?
- How can I ensure that my own words and actions reflect the character of God, and that I am preserving knowledge and sharing it with others?
- What are some potential consequences of not seeking instruction from spiritual leaders, and how can I prioritize my spiritual growth and development?
Gill's Exposition on Malachi 2:7
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge,.... Or "shall keep knowledge", as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions; or "do keep knowledge", as the Arabic version; and so the Syriac version,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Malachi 2:7
My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Malachi 2:7
Those forementioned excellent priests did so teach, and so live, forasmuch as they did well consider it was their duty to be well acquainted with, and to have a great insight into, the law of God. The priest’ s lips should keep knowledge; it is that their office binds them to; it is the duty of all God’ s people to know his law, but the priest’ s duty to know it more than others, , for they were to teach Israel, . And they, the people of Israel, should seek the law at his mouth; in difficult cases, in controversies, &c., the people were to consult and advise with the priests, and inquire what the law said in the case. For he is the messenger, interpreter, ambassador, or legate, of the Lord of hosts with the people, lieger among them, and who therefore ought to be advised with about his Lord’ s mind.
Trapp's Commentary on Malachi 2:7
Malachi 2:7 For the priest’ s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the LORD of hosts. Ver. 7. For the priest’ s lips should keep knowledge] How else should he be instant in lip feeding? how should his lips present it unless they preserve it? How should he make others wise, unless he be wise himself? Daniel 12:3. The Pope brags of an infallibility, and pleads this text for it; avouching that he knows all things knowable, and hath all wisdom and skill locked up in scrinio pectoris, in the cabinet of his breast. But what will they say of sundry of their popes that have been manifest heretics? John XXIII was accused, in the Council of Constance, for denying the resurrection of the body and everlasting life. And of all their popes we may safely say, as the Venetian ambassadors did; when the Pope laid his hand upon his breast and said, Hic est arca Noae, Lo, here is Noah’ s ark (meaning that he was the Church virtual, and was enriched in all knowledge and in all utterance), one of them presently replied, that in Noah’ s ark there were unclean beasts as well as clean; and so left him further to apply. The priest’ s lips indeed should keep knowledge.
But those of Malachi’ s times had forsaken the way, and caused many to stumble, Malachi 2:8. How this was we shall see when we come to it. Meanwhile, we may take notice, that non libro sacerdotis, sed labro; non codice, sed corde, conservatur scientia; knowledge should be kept, not in the priest’ s book, but in his bosom, as a storehouse; neither should it lie low or long there, but sit upon his lips, that all may have benefit by it. For the manifestation of the Spirit is given to profit also, 1 Corinthians 12:7. And it was death for the priest to enter into the sanctuary without his golden bells about him, that he might be heard by all. A minister must be both able and apt to teach (διδακτικος, Greg. Pastor.). Praedicationis officium suscipit quisquis ad sacerdotium accedit, saith Gregory. He is no minister that is no preacher. Nor can he be a preacher that is not stored with knowledge of God’ s will and people’ s duty.
See Matthew 13:32. Walter, surnamed Malclerk, was surely no fit man to be Bishop of Carlisle; as he was by evil and corrupt means, A. D. 1223. "If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch," Matthew 15:14; but the blind guides will lie lowermost, and have the worst of it. Varro complained of the Roman priests, that they were ignorant of many things about their own rites and religions. Mucius Scaevola (being their high priest) derived Pontifex of Posse and facere to be able to do. This derivation pleased not Varro; but it intimated that such should both be able and active to teach the people knowledge.
Ellicott's Commentary on Malachi 2:7
(7) Comp. Deuteronomy 33:10. Keep.—Not as in a repository, but rather, observe (Zechariah 3:7)—i.e., speak in accordance with the knowledge of God, as revealed in the Law. Messenger.—Literally, angel. (See Note on Malachi 3:1.)
Cambridge Bible on Malachi 2:7
7. For] And in all this he only fulfilled his duty, for such in life and doctrine ought the priest, as the messenger of Jehovah to the people, to be. messenger] See Introduction ch. 1. p. 13.
Barnes' Notes on Malachi 2:7
For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge - o “He assigns the reason for what he had just said, the law of truth was in his mouth; they had done what it was their duty to do; as in Ecclesiasticus
Whedon's Commentary on Malachi 2:7
7. This conduct of Levi corresponded to the divine purpose concerning the priests, who as messengers of Jehovah of hosts should speak and live the truth continually.
