Subject: What would Zachariah have prayed? |
Bible Note: "1:9 chosen by lot. The privilege of burning incense would happen only once in the lifetime of any priest." (Ryrie Study Bible) "1:8,9 Zacharias served for one week twice a year at the temple, one of perhaps 18,000 priests who served in a year. Offering the incense was something a priest could do only once in his career. It was a great moment for Zacharias, all the more so because of the sovereign plan God had for him and his family." (Nelson NKJV Study Bible) "chosen by lot. See Neh. 11:1; Prov. 16:33; Jonah 1:7; Acts 1:26." (NIV Study Bible) |
