Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 24:6-8
Ezekiel 24:6-8. Wherefore thus saith the Lord Here begins an explication of the preceding symbolical representation; Wo to the bloody city Jerusalem, which is this pot; whose scum is therein Whose filthiness, or wickedness, is not purged out of it. Bring it out piece by piece One piece after another till all be taken. Let nothing be left in it; let it be emptied of every thing. This signified the entire ruin and spoil of the city and the inhabitants of it, all without distinction... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 24:9-11
Ezekiel 24:9-11. Thus saith the Lord, &c. In this and the two following verses is still more fully explained the meaning of the symbol of the boiling pot, and what the fire is that made it boil. By making the pile for the fire great, is signified the destruction being very great and general. And spice it well Or, season it well, so as to make it desirable. The expression imports, that the Babylonians should be as much set on destroying the city and inhabitants, as hungry people... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14
The cooking pot (24:1-14)On the day Babylon began its siege of Jerusalem, Ezekiel spoke another message (24:1-2; see 2 Kings 25:1). Previously the Jerusalemites had boasted that the walls of the city would protect them from the Babylonian armies as a cooking pot protects the meat within from the fire (see 11:3). Ezekiel now uses the illustration of the cooking pot in an entirely opposite sense. The people of Jerusalem (the meat in the pot) are going to be ‘cooked alive’ by the ‘fire’ of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 24:7
Ezekiel 24:7. She poured it not upon the ground— The words allude to the command of the law, that they should cover the blood of any beast or other living creature with dust: a precept intended not only to prevent their eating blood, but also to give them a kind of horror at seeing it shed. See Lowth. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:7
7. upon the top of a rock—or, "the dry, bare, exposed rock," so as to be conspicuous to all. Blood poured on a rock is not so soon absorbed as blood poured on the earth. The law ordered the blood even of a beast or fowl to be "covered with the dust" ( :-); but Jerusalem was so shameless as to be at no pains to cover up the blood of innocent men slain in her. Blood, as the consummation of all sin, presupposes every other form of guilt. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:8
8. That it might cause—God purposely let her so shamelessly pour the blood on the bare rock, "that it might" the more loudly and openly cry for vengeance from on high; and that the connection between the guilt and the punishment might be the more palpable. The blood of Abel, though the ground received it, still cries to heaven for vengeance (Genesis 4:10; Genesis 4:11); much more blood shamelessly exposed on the bare rock. set her blood—She shall be paid back in kind (Matthew 7:2). She openly... read more
