jewels-- (Isa 62:3). Literally, "My peculiar treasure" (Exo 19:5; Deu 7:6; Deu 14:2; Deu 26:18; Psa 135:4; Tit 2:14; Pe1 2:9; compare Ecc 2:8). CALVIN translates more in accordance with Hebrew idiom, "They shall be My peculiar treasure in the day in which I will do it" (that is, fulfil My promise of gathering My completed Church; or, "make" those things come to pass foretold in Mal 3:5 above [GROTIUS]); so in Mal 4:3 "do" is used absolutely, "in the day that I shall do this." MAURER, not so well, translates, "in the day which I shall make," that is, appoint as in Psa 118:24. as . . . man spareth . . . son-- (Psa 103:18).
