Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:4-7

Ezekiel 25:4-7. Behold, I will deliver thee to the men of the east That is, to the Chaldeans, whose country lay east of the Ammonites. This people was accordingly conquered and subdued by the Chaldeans, about five years after the destruction of Jerusalem. And they shall drink thy milk Milk was the principal sustenance of those people, whose riches consisted chiefly in their stocks of cattle. The Hebrew word חלב , however, here rendered milk, signifies also the fattest or choicest parts... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

25:1-32:32 JUDGMENTS AGAINST FOREIGN NATIONSOnce the exiles had been awakened, Ezekiel’s next task was to instruct them further about God’s future purposes for them. But before doing so, he shows how God will deal with Israel’s former oppressors. God is the controller not only of Israel’s destiny but also of the destinies of other nations. He will not allow sin to go unpunished, and he will especially deal with the four neighbouring nations who supported Babylon at the fall of Jerusalem. (For... read more

7. a spoil—so the Hebrew Margin, or Keri, for the text or Chetib, "meat" (so Ezekiel 26:5; Ezekiel 34:28). Their goods were to be a "spoil to the foe"; their state was to be "cut off," so as to be no more a "people"; and they were as individuals, for the most part, to be "destroyed." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 25:1-7

1. Judgment on Ammon 25:1-7The first oracle against Ammon consists of two messages and consequently contains a double indictment and punishment. Ezekiel previously recorded an oracle against Ammon (21:28-32). Its placement there was evidently due to the presence of "sword of the Lord" terminology in that oracle, which the other prophecies in that chapter also contain, and the sequence of prophecies there. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 25:6-7

Because the Ammonites had rejoiced over Israel’s misfortune the Lord would punish them and give them as the spoils of war to other nations. He would end their existence as a separate nation and destroy them as a people. Ammon no longer existed as a nation after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it and Bedouins from the east plundered it. [Note: Davidson, p. 180.] This judgment would teach them that Yahweh is God."Oracles against foreign nations are always implicitly oracles of encouragement for God’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-17

§ 1. Ammon, Moab, Edom, and PhilistiaThese four nations were the neighbours of Israel on the E., SE., and SW. respectively, and are dealt with in their geographical order. Ammon and Moab are denounced for their exultation at the fall of Jerusalem, Edom and Philistia for their revengeful share in Israel’s humiliation. All of them are threatened with destruction from God. The instruments of the judgment are to be the Bedouins of the desert in the case of Ammon and Moab, and Israel in the case of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-32

Prophecies against Foreign NationsThese chapters come between those which deal with the overthrow of the Old Israel (1-24) and those which describe the establishment of the New Israel (33-48), and they form an introduction to the latter group. Their significance is well explained in Ezekiel 28:24-26. The fall of Jerusalem seemed to be a victory of heathendom over the people of the true God, and it was needful to show that it was not so. The God of Israel who had visited His people with this... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 25:7

(7) For a spoil.—This is the sense of the margin of the Hebrew; its text is represented by our margin, meat or food. The word in the text occurs only here, but a compound of it is found in Daniel 1:5; Daniel 11:26. The figure seems to be the same as that which speaks of devouring the people.Shalt know that I am the Lord.—This frequent close of the denunciatory prophecies against Israel in the former chapters is here also used at the close of each message in this chapter, and of many of the... read more
