ExplanationCommentary
Verse 6. Priests. They were greatly honoured, (Exodus 19:6) so that the sons of David had the appellation. The Jews had still to labour as before. Christians become heirs to these promises, and are styled a royal priesthood. 1 Peter 2:9. Revelation 1:6. They have received the Scriptures from the Jews, and employ human sciences for the advancement of religion. The wisest pagans yield to the force of truth.
