Subject: Waiting for what? |
Bible Note: "1:21 wondering at his delay. The people probably wondered if Zacharias had died." (The Ryrie Expanded Edition NASB Study Bible) "The people at the temple awaited the Aaronic blessing of the high priest (see Num. 6:24–26). The conclusion of the offering occurred only after the priests emerged from the holy place." (Nelson NKJV Study Bible) "1:21 marveled that he lingered so long. Zacharias was only supposed to offer incense, then come out to pronounce the familiar blessing of Num. 6:23-27 on the people who were waiting in the temple court. The conversation with the angel would have taken additional time." (MacArthur NKJV Study Bible) |
