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. Stein, Robert H. Luke. Vol. 24 . Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 1992. Print.
