以西結書 4:15-17 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 4:16

The staff of bread . The phrase occurs again in Ezekiel 5:16 ; Ezekiel 14:13 , and also in Le 26:26; Psalms 105:16 . In Isaiah 3:1 the thought is the same, but the Hebrew word is different. They shall eat bread by weight, etc. The phrase occurs, it may be noted, in Le 26:26, one of the verses above referred to. The care and astonishment , implying that the wonted cheerfulness of meals would have departed, meet us again in Ezekiel 12:19 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 4:16-17

The chastisement of famine. The striking and distressing symbolism described in this chapter must have brought with great vividness before the mind of the prophet, and before the minds of his companions in exile, the sufferings that were about to befall the metropolis which was the pride of their hearts. In the siege which was to come upon Jerusalem, the citizens should endure the horrors of privation, of hunger, and of thirst. It was foretold that in a sense this should be God's... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 4:17

Consume away for their iniquity, etc. Another echo from the book which had entered so largely into the prophet's education (see Le 26:39, where the Hebrew for "pine" is the same as that here rendered "consume"). To the wretchedness of physical privation there was to be added the consciousness of the sufferers that it was caused by their own evil deeds. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 4:14-15

Ezekiel 4:14-15. Then said I, Ah, Lord God, &c. He deprecates this, and entreats it may not be enjoined him. Behold, my soul hath not been polluted I have always carefully observed the distinction between meats clean and unclean: I beseech thee, command me not now to eat any thing so contrary to my former practice. Neither came their abominable flesh into my mouth The Hebrew word, פגול , abominable, is used of such meats as were forbidden by the law, as the learned reader may see,... read more

Ezekiel 4:16-17. Behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem I will cause a scarcity of bread in Jerusalem, 2 Kings 25:3; and deprive it of the chief support of man’s life. And they shall eat their bread by weight and with care Here we have a declaration of the meaning of what the prophet was ordered to do, Ezekiel 4:10-11. It was intended to signify, that during the siege, the people of Jerusalem should eat their food very sparingly, and with great anxiety, for fear they should... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 4:1-17

4:1-7:27 JUDGMENT AGAINST JERUSALEMSiege and exile (4:1-17)Prophets often acted their messages instead of, or in addition to, speaking them. Ezekiel drew a rough picture of Jerusalem on a brick, placed the brick on the ground, then with sticks, stones, clay and markings in the sand, he modelled a siege of the city. The message to the exiles was that they had no chance of an early return to Jerusalem. On the contrary, Jerusalem could expect further attack. God would not defend the city; rather... read more
