Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 35:6

6. I will prepare thee unto blood—I will expose thee to slaughter. sith—old English for "seeing that" or "since." thou hast not hated blood—The Hebrew order is, "thou hast hated not—blood"; that is, thou couldst not bear to live without bloodshed [GROTIUS]. There is a play on similar sounds in the Hebrew; Edom resembling dam, the Hebrew for "blood"; as "Edom" means "red," the transition to "blood" is easy. Edom, akin to blood in name, so also in nature and acts; "blood therefore shall pursue... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 35:1-15

3. Preparation of the Promised Land 35:1-36:15"Each of the next four speeches elaborates an aspect of the peace covenant. Ezekiel 35:1 to Ezekiel 36:15 describes how the foreign plundering nations would be removed and judged in preparation for Israel’s return to her own land. The message in Ezekiel 36:16 to Ezekiel 37:14 provides a beautiful and descriptive account of God’s restoration of Israel to her land. Ezekiel 37:15-28 stresses the full reunion of the nation and the fulfillment of her... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 35:6-7

For this reason, the sovereign Lord swore, He would turn the Edomites over to others who would shed their blood. Since they had not tried to prevent bloodshed in Israel, they would experience bloodshed in Edom. "Bloodshed" (Heb. dam, lit. blood) may be a play on Edom’s name (Heb. edom, from ’adom, "to be red"). God would make Mount Seir a desolate waste, such a desolation that few people would visit it. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 35:6

(6) I will prepare thee unto blood.—Rather, I will make thee blood. There is here a play upon the name of Edom in the original: I will make thee dom (=blood); Edom itself means red. The latter part of the verse brings out, as frequently, the congruity of the punishment: violence shall come upon him who has loved (“not hated “) violence. read more

Ezekiel 35:5-6 See Dickens's description of France, in the first chapter of The Tale of Two Cities: 'Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she entertained herself with such humane achievements as sentencing a youth to have his hands cut off, his tongue torn out with pincers, and his body burned alive, because he had not kneeled down in the rain to do honour to a dirty procession of monks which passed within his view, at a distance of some fifty or sixty yards. It is likely enough that,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

JEHOVAH’S LANDEzekiel 35:1-15; Ezekiel 36:1-38THE teaching of this important passage turns on certain ideas regarding the land of Canaan which enter very deeply into the religion of Israel. These ideas are no doubt familiar in a general way to all thoughtful readers of the Old Testament; but their full import is scarcely realised until we understand that they are not peculiar to the Bible, but form part of the stock of religious conceptions common to Israel and its heathen neighbours. In the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 35:1-15

CHAPTERS 35-36 Judgment Announced and Israel’s Final Restoration Promised 1. The message against Mount Seir and Idumea (Ezekiel 35:1-15 ) 2. The message of comfort to Israel (Ezekiel 36:1-38 ) Ezekiel 35:1-15 . This is another judgment message, which is closely related to the coming restoration of Israel. When the Lord is merciful to His people and bestows upon them the promised blessings, He will also deal with their enemies in judgment. Edom was the most bitter enemy of Israel, their... read more
