Ecclesiastes 9:2

     2. All things . . . alike—not universally; but as to death. Ec 9:2-10 are made by HOLDEN the objection of a skeptical sensualist. However, they may be explained as Solomon's language. He repeats the sentiment already implied in Ec 2:14; 3:20; 8:14.

      one event—not eternally; but death is common to all.

      good—morally.

      clean—ceremonially.

      sacrificeth—alike to Josiah who sacrificed to God, and to Ahab who made sacrifice to Him cease.

      sweareth—rashly and falsely.
