SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:27
Y levantándose los sacerdotes levitas, bendijeron al pueblo; y la voz de ellos fue oída, y su oración llegó a la habitación de su santuario, al cielo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:27
Verse 27. And their voice was heard] God accepted the fruits of that pious disposition which himself had infused. And their prayer came up] As the smoke of their sacrifices ascended to the clouds, so did their prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings, ascend to the heavens. The Targum says: "Their prayer came up to the dwelling-place of his holy shechinah, which is in heaven." Israel now appeared to be in a fair way of regaining what they had lost; but alas, how soon were all these bright prospects beclouded for ever! It is not for the want of holy resolutions and heavenly influences that men are not saved but through their own unsteadiness; they do not persevere, they forget the necessity of continuing in prayer, and thus the Holy Spirit is grieved, departs from them, and leaves them to their own darkness and hardness of heart. When we consider the heavenly influences which many receive who draw back to perdition, and the good fruits which for a time they bore, it is blasphemy to say they had no genuine or saving grace; they had it, they showed it, they trifled with it, sinned against it, continued in their rebellions, and therefore are lost.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. Then the priests the Levites arose , etc.] 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 6:24,26), 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 Psalm 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-27 - Many prayers were put up to God with the peace-offerings. In thes Israel looked to God as the God of their fathers, a God in covenan with them. There was also abundance of good preaching. The Levites rea and explained the Scriptures. Faith cometh by hearing, and tru religion preaching has abounded. They sang psalms every day: praisin God should be much of our work in religious assemblies. Having kept the seven days of the feast in this religious manner, they had so muc comfort in it, that they kept other seven days also. This they did with gladness. Holy duties should be done with holy gladness. And when sinners humble themselves before the Lord, they may expect gladness in his ordinances. Those who taste this happiness will not soon grow wear of it, but will be glad to prolong their enjoyment __________________________________________________________________
