ISB ~ Romans 9 v3

accursed and cut off:Paul almost wishes he could be set apart for destruction and severed from Christ if it would bring Israel salvation.

See word study:Accursed at Gal 1:8.

• Moses voiced a similar sentiment at a similar time of national apostasy (Ex 32:32), when nearly all Israel fell from grace at the golden calf rebellion (Ex 32:1-6).
