When ye spread forth your hands; when you pray with hands spread abroad, as the manner was; of which see Exodus 9:29,33 Job 11:13, &c. I will hide mine eyes from you; which is a gesture of contempt and loathing. I will take no notice of your persons or requests. Your hands are full of blood; you are guilty of murder, and oppression, and other crying sins, which I abhor, and have forbidden, under pain of mine highest displeasure.
