Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:8-10

Ezekiel 25:8-10. Because that Moab and Seir, &c. By Seir the Idumeans are intended. The prophet joins them together as guilty of the same crime, and then denounces particular judgments against each of them. Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen Hebrew ככל הגוים , like all the nations; subdued by Nebuchadnezzar indiscriminately with them; they are not distinguished from their neighbours by the protection of the God whom they worship, and they find no advantage in... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:8

"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations; therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim, unto the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations: and I will execute... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 25:8

Ezekiel 25:8. Behold, the house of Judah is like, &c.— It hence appears, that the Jews had boasted, and the Gentiles till then acknowledged, that the Jews were under an extra-ordinary providence. See Div. Leg. vol. iv read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:8

8. Moab, Seir, and Ammon were contiguous countries, stretching in one line from Gilead on the north to the Red Sea. They therefore naturally acted in concert, and in joint hostility to Judea. Judah is like . . . all . . . heathen—The Jews fare no better than others: it is of no use to them to serve Jehovah, who, they say, is the only true God. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 25:8

The residents of Moab and Seir (Edom) had regarded Judah as just one of the other nations even though the Judahites were blood relatives of theirs (cf. Jeremiah 48:27; Zephaniah 2:8-9). This attitude reflected disrespect for Yahweh. They viewed Israel’s God as no better than other pagan deities since Judah had fallen to the Babylonians. 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
