以西结书 12:16 CUVS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 12:1-20

1. The dramatic tragedy of exile 12:1-20This section contains three messages from the Lord all of which deal with the inevitability of another deportation of Jews from Jerusalem and Judah (Ezekiel 12:1-20). Jerusalem would be overthrown and the Jews still there would be taken to Babylon in the very near future. The prophet’s perspective now broadened from the temple (chs. 8-11) to the city (ch. 12). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 12:16

Yahweh would allow a few of them to escape so they could tell what had happened, including their sinfulness and God’s dealings with them as a nation."The deportations were designed to show the deportees that the Lord was the faithful, loving, and powerful God over Israel they should return to. Lest the foreign nations misunderstand Judah’s dispersion, God had the exiles testify that their abominations precipitated the deportations. In this way the nations would realize that the Lord was holy,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:1-20

Symbols of Exile, Flight, and FamineEzekiel’s audience being blind to the meaning of the vision he has just described, he is commanded to give them, in new symbolic actions, a further representation of the coming fate of Jerusalem and its king and people. He is told to gather together such things as one leaving home would take with him, and to carry these out of his house by day. At night he is to dig a hole in a wall, and pass through it with his face covered and his baggage on his shoulder.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:1-28

§ 4. Further Prophecies of Israel's Guilt and approaching Punishment (Ezekiel 12-19)This is a somewhat miscellaneous group of prophecies intermediate in date between the preceding (August-September, 591 b.c.) and succeeding (July-August, 590 b.c.) sections. It includes fresh symbols of exile, flight, and famine (Eze 12:1-20), a doctrine of prophecy, true and false (Eze 12:21 to Eze 14:11), an explanation of God's exceptional treatment of Jerusalem in sparing a remnant (Eze 14:12-23), Ezekiel's... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 12:16

(16) May declare all their abominations.—This they were to do, that the false impression that God was unable to protect His people might be removed from the minds of the heathen, and the truth that He was punishing them for their sins be made known. They should do it both by word of mouth (as in Jeremiah 22:8-9), and also by their conduct (as in Ezekiel 14:22-23). The word “few” is literally, as shown in the margin, men of number, i.e., men who can easily be numbered or counted; and in the very... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 12:1-28

Ezekiel 12:2 It is as easy to close the eyes of the mind as those of the body; and the former is more frequently done with wilfulness, and yet not attended to, than the latter; the actions of the mind being more quick and transient than those of the senses. Butler. The one Enemy we have in this Universe is Stupidity, Darkness of Mind; of which darkness, again there are many sources, every sin a source, and probably self-conceit the chief source. Darkness of mind, in every kind and variety,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-28

DISTRIBUTING THE RESPONSIBILITY While these visions and prophecies may be new as to the particular occasions for them, yet they are in substance the same as the preceding. “THE PRINCE IN JERUSALEM” (Ezekiel 12:1-16 ) In chapter 10 we had a vision of the judgment upon the city of Jerusalem, in chapter 11, upon the princes, and in this upon the king himself (v. 10). The explanation of the action commanded the prophet in Ezekiel 12:1-7 is given in Ezekiel 12:8-16 . It is thought that this was... read more
