# General Information:
|
||||
|
||||
Here the prophet Malachi begins to speak to his fellow Israelites.
|
||||
|
||||
# Is there not one Father for us all? Has not one God created us?
|
||||
|
||||
Malachi asks these questions in order to remind his fellow Israelites about what they already know. Alternate translation: "You know that we all have one Father, that our God has created a nation out of us." or "You all know that God is the Father of all us Israelites, because he is the one who made our nation." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

|
||||
# Has not one God created us?
|
||||
|
||||
This question is meant to express a statement. Alternate translation: "Certainly it is the same God who has created us." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# created us
|
||||
|
||||
This probably refers to God forming the Hebrews into a nation.

"Certainly it is the same God who has created us."

||||
|
||||
# Why are we faithless each man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
|
||||
|
||||
Malachi asks this question in order to rebuke his fellow Israelites. This question may be expressed as a statement. Alternate translation: "We should certainly not mistreat our brothers and disrespect God's covenant by disobeying his commands, as you have been doing." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

"We should certainly not mistreat our brothers and disrespect God's covenant by disobeying his commands, as you have been doing."
