Footnote

a Young’s translation, which is very literal, inserts here the preposition to and makes the controversial passage read: “And they have come to the desire of all the nations, and I have filled this house with honour, said Jehovah of hosts.” However, it is not necessary to insert a word, and a suitable translation of the Hebrew text would read: “And they, the desire of all the nations, shall come in.”
