He Was Unable to Speak to Them
He Was Unable to Speak to Them Luke 1:22 Excerpt According to Tamid 7.2 priests coming out of the holy place were expected to pronounce a customary blessing, such as Num 6:24–26 , upon the people. Whether Luke’s readers would have known this is uncertain. Luke 1:62 implies that Zechariah also could not hear. More Stein, Robert H. Luke . Vol. 24. Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 1992.
