The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite - For all authentic particulars relative to this prophet, see the introduction. In the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah - These three kings reigned about threescore years; and Micah is supposed to have prophesied about forty or fifty years; but no more of his prophecies have reached posterity than what are contained in this book, nor is there any evidence that any more was written. His time appears to have been spent chiefly in preaching and exhorting; and he was directed to write those parts only that were calculated to profit succeeding generations.

Micaiah, son of Imlah, begins his prophecy similarly, "Hearken, O people, every one of you." Micah designedly uses the same preface, implying that his ministrations are a continuation of his predecessor's of the same name. Both probably had before their mind Moses' similar attestation of heaven and earth in a like case (Deu 31:28; Deu 32:1; compare Isa 1:2). God be witness against you--namely, that none of you can say, when the time of your punishment shall come, that you were not forewarned. The punishment denounced is stated in Mic 1:3, &c. from his holy temple--that is, heaven (Kg1 8:30; Psa 11:4; Jon 2:7; compare Rom 1:18).
Quelle öffnen ↗The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite,.... So called, either from Mareshah, mentioned Mic 1:15; and was a city in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:44; as the Targum, Jarchi, Kimchi, and Zacutus (i); or rather from Moresheth, from which Moreshethgath, Mic 1:14; is distinguished; which Jerom (k) says was in his time a small village in the land of Palestine, near Eleutheropolis. Some think these two cities to be one and the same; but they appear to be different from the account of Jerom (l) elsewhere. The Arabic version reads it, Micah the son of Morathi; so Cyril, in his commentary on this place, mentions it as the sense of some, that Morathi was the father of the prophet; which can by no means be assented to: in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah; by which it appears that he was contemporary with Isaiah, Hoses, and Amos, though they began to prophesy somewhat sooner than he, even in the days of Uzziah; very probably he conversed with these prophets, especially Isaiah, with whom he agrees in many things; his style is like his, and sometimes uses the same phrases: he, being of the tribe of Judah, only mentions the kings of that nation most known to him; though he prophesied against Israel, and in the days of Zachariah, Shallum, Menahem, Pekahiah, Pekah, and Hoshea: which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem; in the vision of prophecy; Samaria was the metropolis of the ten tribes of Israel, and is put for them all; as Jerusalem was of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and is put for them Samaria is mentioned first, because it was the head of the greatest body of people; and as it was the first in transgression, it was the first in punishment.

Quelle öffnen ↗The heading in Mic 1:1 has been explained in the introduction. Mic 1:2-4 form the introduction to the prophet's address. Mic 1:2. "Hear, all ye nations: observe, O earth, and that which fills it: and let the Lord Jehovah be a witness against you, the Lord out of His holy palace. Mic 1:3. For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth from His place, and cometh down, and marcheth over the high places of the earth. Mic 1:4. And the mountains will melt under Him, and the valleys split, like wax before the fire, like water poured out upon a slope." The introductory words, "Hear, ye nations all," are taken by Micah from his earlier namesake the son of Imlah (Kg1 22:28). As the latter, in his attack upon the false prophets, called all nations as witnesses to confirm the truth of his prophecy, so does Micah the Morashite commence his prophetic testimony with the same appeal, so as to announce his labours at the very outset as a continuation of the activity of his predecessor who had been so zealous for the Lord. As the son of Imlah had to contend against the false prophets as seducers of the nation, so has also the Morashtite (compare Mic 2:6, Mic 2:11; Mic 3:5, Mic 3:11); and as the former had to announce to both kingdoms the judgment that would come upon them on account of their sins, so has also the latter; and he does it by frequently referring to the prophecy of the elder Micah, not only by designating the false prophets as those who walk after the rūăch and lie, sheqer (Mic 2:11), which recals to mind the rūăch sheqer of the prophets of Ahab (Kg1 22:22-23), but also in his use of the figures of the horn of iron in Mic 4:13 (compare the horns of iron of the false prophet Zedekiah in Kg1 22:11), and of the smiting upon the cheek in Mic 5:1 (compare Kg1 22:14). ‛Ammı̄m kullâm does…
Quelle öffnen ↗Here is, I. A general account of this prophet and his prophecy, Mic 1:1. This is prefixed for the satisfaction of all that read and hear the prophecy of this book, who will give the more credit to it when they know the author and his authority. 1. The prophecy is the word of the Lord; it is a divine revelation. Note, What is written in the Bible, and what is preached by the ministers of Christ according to what is written there, must be heard and received, not as the word of dying men, which we may be judges of, but as the word of the living God, which we must be judged by, for so it is. This word of the Lord came to the prophet, came plainly, came powerfully, came in a preventing way, and he saw it, saw the vision in which it was conveyed to him, saw the things themselves which he foretold, with as much clearness and certainty as if they had been already accomplished. 2. The prophet is Micah the Morasthite; his name Micah is a contraction of Micaiah, the name of a prophet some ages before (in Ahab's time, Kg1 22:8); his surname, the Morasthite, signifies that he was born, or lived, at Moresheth, which is mentioned here (Mic 1:14), or Mareshah, which is mentioned Mic 1:15, and Jos 15:44. The place of his abode is mentioned, that any one might enquire in that place, at that time, and might find there was, or had been, such a one there, who was generally reputed to be a prophet. 3. The date of his prophecy is in the reigns of three kings of Judah - Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Ahaz was one of the worst of Judah's kings, and Hezekiah one of the best; such variety of times pass over God's ministers, times that frown and times that smile, to each of which they must study to accommodate themselves, and to arm themselves against the temptations of both. The promises and threate…
Quelle öffnen ↗1:1 Micah is presumably a short form of Micaiah, which means “Who is like the Lord?” • Moresheth was a fortress city located a short distance southeast of Gath in the low-lying hills of southwestern Judah. • Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (see Micah Book Introduction, “Setting”): The reigns of these three kings covered about 65 years total (about 750–686 BC). • God’s message came to Micah in visions. • Samaria and Jerusalem were the capitals of northern Israel and Judah. Sometimes these city names refer to their entire countries.

Micha, der Moraschite, hat in den Tagen des Königs Hiskia von Juda geweissagt und zu dem ganzen jüdischen Volk gesagt: So spricht der HERR der Heerscharen: Man wird Zion wie einen Acker pflügen, und Jerusalem soll zum Steinhaufen werden und der Berg des Hauses des HERRN zu einem bewaldeten Hügel!
Gesicht Jesajas, des Sohnes des Amoz, das er geschaut hat über Juda und Jerusalem in den Tagen Ussijas, Jotams, Ahas' und Hiskias, der Könige von Juda:
Dies ist das Wort des HERRN, welches an Hosea, den Sohn Beeris erging, in den Tagen Ussijas, Jotams, Ahas und Hiskias, der Könige von Juda, und in den Tagen Jerobeams, des Sohnes des Joas, des Königs von Israel.
Dies sind die Worte, welche Amos, der unter den Hirten von Tekoa war, über Israel geschaut hat in den Tagen Ussias, des Königs von Juda, und in den Tagen Jerobeams, des Sohnes des Joas, des Königs von Israel, zwei Jahre vor dem Erdbeben.
Das alles wegen der Übertretungen Jakobs und wegen der Sünden des Hauses Israel. Was ist aber die Übertretung Jakobs? Ist es nicht Samaria? Und welches sind die Höhen Judas? Ist es nicht Jerusalem?
Und die Hauptstadt Ephraims ist Samaria, und das Haupt Samarias ist der Sohn Remaljas. Glaubet ihr nicht, so bleibet ihr nicht!
Wenn du, Israel, Unzucht treibst, so soll sich doch Juda nicht versündigen! Geht doch nicht nach Gilgal, zieht nicht nach Beth-Aven hinauf und schwört nicht: »So wahr der HERR lebt!«
Wehe den Sorglosen zu Zion und den Sichern auf dem Berge Samaria, den Vornehmsten des ersten der Völker, zu denen das Haus Israel kommt!
Weil Israel seinen Schöpfer vergessen und sich Paläste erbaut, und weil Juda viele Städte befestigt hat, so will ich Feuer in seine Städte senden, das seine Gebäude verzehren soll.
