2 Chronik 30:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:27

Then the priests the Levites arose
The priests who were of the tribe of Levi; for there were some in Israel that were not, but were made of any of the people, as in the times of Jeroboam; though some supply the copulative "and"; so the Targum: "and blessed the people"; which was the proper work and business of the priests to do; though, while they were blessing, the Levites might be singing:

and their voice was heard;
meaning not by the people, though undoubtedly it was, but by the Lord; the Targum is,

``their prayer was heard or received;''

for the blessing was delivered in a petitionary way, ( Numbers 6:24 Numbers 6:26 ) , and was no other than a request that God would bless them, which he did:

and their prayer came up to his holy dwellingplace, even unto heaven;
see ( Psalms 3:4 ) ( 18:6 ) by what means it was known their prayer was heard and accepted cannot be said; there might be some visible token of it, as the people were dismissed, and departed.

2 Chronik 30:27 In-Context

25 Und es freuten sich die ganze Gemeinde Juda's, die Priester und Leviten und die ganze Gemeinde, die aus Israel gekommen waren, und die Fremdlinge, die aus dem Lande Israel gekommen waren und in Juda wohnten,

26 und war eine große Freude zu Jerusalem; denn seit der Zeit Salomos, des Sohnes Davids, des Königs Israels, war solches zu Jerusalem nicht gewesen.

27 Und die Priester und die Leviten standen auf und segneten das Volk, und ihre Stimme ward erhört, und ihr Gebet kam hinein vor seine heilige Wohnung im Himmel.
