Under Gods Command
Malachi 2:7-8 “For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction-because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty. But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble, you have violated the covenant with Levi,” says the LORD Almighty.
Malachi was angry at the priests because, though they were to be God’s messengers, they did not know God’s will. And this lack of knowledge caused them to lead God’s people astray. Their ignorance was willful and inexcusable.
