Gill's Notes on the Bible
This shall be the punishment of Egypt,.... Or "sin" d, as in the original text: rightly is the word rendered "punishment", as it is by the Targum:
and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles; which will be one and the same; they shall have no rain, or what answers to it; they shall all have a famine; or it will be different, Egypt shall be punished with a consumption of their flesh, and the other nations with want of rain: the former sense seems best.
d ×××ת "peccatum", V. L.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This shall be the sin of Egypt and the sin of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles - For before the coming of the Saviour, good perhaps had been in part the excuse of the pagan, that they had been called by none. For no one had preached unto them. Wherefore the Saviour also, pointing out this in the Gospel parables, said, âthe laborersâ Matthew 20:7, called âat the eleventh hour, said, No man hath hired us.â But when Christ cast His light upon us, âbound the strong manâ Matthew 12:29, removed from his perverseness those subject to him, justified by faith those who came to Him, laid down His life for the life of all, they will find no sufficient excuse who admit not so reverend a grace. It will be true of the pagan too, if Christ said of them, âIf I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sinâ John 15:22.â
The prophet says âsin,â not punishment , for sin includes âthe punishment,â which is its due, and which it entails: it does not express the punishment, apart from the sin. It was âthe sinâ which comprised and involved all other sin, the refusal to worship God as He had revealed Himself, and to turn to Him. It was to say, âWe will not haveâ Him âto reign over usâ Luke 19:14.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 14:19. This shall be the punishment - of all nations that come not up — God will have his public worship established everywhere, and those who do not worship him shall lie under his curse.
