エゼキエル書 24:23-24 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 24:15-27

These verses conclude what we have been upon all along from the beginning of this book, to wit, Ezekiel's prophecies of the destruction of Jerusalem; for after this, though he prophesied much concerning other nations, he said no more concerning Jerusalem, till he heard of the destruction of it, almost three years after, Ezek. 33:21. He had assured them, in the former part of this chapter, that there was no hope at all of the preventing of the trouble; here he assures them that they should not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:23

And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet ..... As will be necessary while travelling, and when carrying captive to a foreign country, as now will be their case: ye shall not mourn nor weep ; shall not dare to do it, because of their enemies; and, moreover, so great should be their miseries and calamities, that they should be struck dumb, and quite astonished and stupefied with them; that they should not be able to vent their sorrow by an outward act of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:24

Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign ,.... These are the words of the prophet concerning himself; observing that in all the above things he was a sign to the Jews of what should befall them, and what should be their case: and according to all that he hath done shall ye do ; however it might be then a matter of scorn and derision: and when this cometh : when this prophecy comes to pass, and all these calamities come upon the city and temple: ye shall know that I am the Lord God ;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:15-27

Speechless and tearless sorrow. If the event here described really happened, and if the death of the prophet's wife was a fact and not a mere vision or parable, at all events there is no reason to suppose that this death took place from other than natural causes. Foreseeing what would happen, the God of men and of nations used the affliction of his servant and turned it to account, making it the occasion and the means of spiritual instruction and impression for the benefit of the Hebrew... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:15-27

Graduated lessons. Most important truths can only be learnt by a series of comparisons. We best know the magnitude of the sun by comparison with the moon and stars. We prize the fragrance of the rose by comparison with the perfume of other flowers. We learn the dignity and strength that belong to a man by passing through the stages of childhood and youth. God teaches us and trains us, not only through the understanding, but also through the feelings, affections, griefs, inward experiences.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:20-23

An awful catastrophe and a prohibition of mourning. "The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God," etc. The death of Ezekiel's wife, and his abstinence from mourning by reason thereof, were symbolical, and their signification is brought before us in our text. Two scenes are presented for our contemplation. I. A PEOPLE DEPRIVED OF THEIR MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS . 1. The possessions of which they were to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:24

Ezekiel a sign. This prophet was commissioned to utter many words and to perform many actions which were of the nature of signs to Israel. But in this verse, by God's own instruction, Ezekiel is directed, not to show, but to be, a sign to the people. In his own person, in his own remarkable experience, he typified great truths. I. IN THE AFFLICTION WHICH BEFELL HIM . II. IN THE ANGUISH WHICH HE EXPERIENCED . III. IN HIS SILENT SUBMISSION TO ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:16-27

The death of Ezekiel’s wife took place in the evening of the same day that he delivered the foregoing prophecy. This event was to signify to the people that the Lord would take from them all that was most dear to them; and - owing to the extraordinary nature of the times - quiet lamentation for the dead, according to the usual forms of mourning, would be impossible.Ezekiel 24:17The priest in general was to mourn for his dead (Leviticus 21:1 ff); but Ezekiel was to be an exception to the rule.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 24:19-24

Ezekiel 24:19-24 . Wilt thou not tell us what these things are That is, what is the meaning of thy unusual actions. They seem to make this inquiry by way of derision and contempt. Speak unto the house of Israel Now he is commissioned to declare the meaning of what he did. Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary I will deliver my temple into the hands of the heathen, and they shall profane and destroy it: even that temple wherein you placed your glory, and thought your... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:15-27

Death of Ezekiel’s wife (24:15-27)It came as a shock to Ezekiel to learn from God that his wife was about to die. He was told not to show any of the usual signs of mourning, but to go about his business as usual. Before his wife died, Ezekiel told the people what would happen (15-18).As expected, the people asked Ezekiel why he was not observing the usual mourning customs (19). Ezekiel explained that he was demonstrating how the exiles would react when they heard news of the destruction of... read more
