Daniel 9:11

The Pulpit Commentary on Daniel 9:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy Law. even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

The versions do not present any points worthy of special consideration. The prayer is resumed during the greater part of this verse. The reference here is to Le 26:14 and , the probability being more in favour of the latter, from the reference to the "oath."

The last clause is a lapse again into the narrative style. In the parallel passage in Baruch it is narrative throughout. This clause may easily have been a gloss added by a scribe and inserted in the text by a copyist.

There may, however, simply be an error in the prenominal suffix.
