SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:28
Y vino uno de los sacerdotes que habían trasportado de Samaria, y habitó en Bet-el, y les enseñó cómo habían de temer al SEÑOR.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Then one of the priests whom, they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel , etc.] According to an Arabic writer f212 , his name was Uzziah; but Epiphanius says his name was Esdras; but he wrongly makes him to be sent by Nebuchadnezzar, thirty years after the captivity of the Jews in Babylon: this priest was, doubtless, one of the priests of the calves; for there were none else in the kingdom of Israel carried captive, and as seems also by his choosing to dwell in Bethel, where probably he formerly dwelt, and officiated in the service of the calf there, and by teaching to make priests of the lowest order of the people, as Jeroboam’s priests were, ( 2 Kings 17:32) and taught them how they should fear the Lord ; serve and worship him; he might not teach them the worship of the calves, that being a political business, and now no end to be answered by it; and besides, they were now carried out of the land. This priest taught, no doubt, according to the law of Moses, but was not the author of the Pentateuch; which ridiculous conceit of Leviticus Clerc is sufficiently exposed by Witsius f214 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-41 - The terror of the Almighty will sometimes produce a forced or feigne submission in unconverted men; like those brought from differen countries to inhabit Israel. But such will form unworthy thoughts of God, will expect to please him by outward forms, and will vainly try to reconcile his service with the love of the world and the indulgence of their lusts. May that fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom, possess our hearts, and influence our conduct, that we may be ready for every change. Wordly settlements are uncertain; we know no whither we may be driven before we die, and we must soon leave the world; but the righteous hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken from him __________________________________________________________________
