Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 33:2

Ezekiel 33:2. Son of man— The reader will find in the third chapter, from Eze 33:17-22 what is here repeated in the ten first verses of this chapter. Instead of, Of their coasts, Houbigant reads, from among them. Of their coasts— Out of their borders: The proper places to station watchmen. When the prophet had confirmed his predictions of evil both to the Jews and Heathens by exemplifications of the like predictions already fulfilled among the latter; he proceeds to apply home the conclusion... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 33:2

2. to the children of thy people—whom he had been forbidden to address from Ezekiel 24:26; Ezekiel 24:27, till Jerusalem was overthrown, and the "escaped" came with tidings of the judgment being completed. So now, in Ezekiel 24:27- :, the tidings of the fact having arrived, he opens his heretofore closed lips to the Jews. In the interval he had prophesied as to foreign nations. The former part of the chapter, at Ezekiel 24:27- :, seems to have been imparted to Ezekiel on the evening previous... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:1-4

The Lord told Ezekiel to speak to the Jewish exiles in Babylon. He had not spoken messages concerning them for about three years (588-585 B.C.), since the Lord had shut his mouth (Ezekiel 24:25-27), though he had uttered five oracles against the nations during that time (Ezekiel 29:1-16; Ezekiel 30:20 to Ezekiel 32:32). He was now to tell them that if the Lord brought war on a land and the people of that land appointed a watchman for them, they would be responsible if they did not heed his... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:1-9

1. An exhortation to heed the watchman 33:1-9This part of Ezekiel’s message of warning to the exiles is similar to Ezekiel 3:16-21. Yahweh re-commissioned Ezekiel to his prophetic task (cf. chs. 2-3)."Now that Ezekiel’s original ministry of judgment was completed, God appointed him as a ’watchman’ for a second time. His message still stressed individual accountability and responsibility, but the focus was now on the Lord’s restoration of Israel." [Note: Dyer, in The Old . . ., p. 688.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:1-20

A. A warning to the exiles 33:1-20Since this message is undated, it may have come to Ezekiel about the same time as the previous two in chapter 32, namely, in the last month of 585 B.C. If so, Ezekiel received it about two months after God gave him the six messages recorded in Ezekiel 33:21 to Ezekiel 39:29 (cf. Ezekiel 33:21). Perhaps the writer inserted the present message in the text here because its strong encouragement to repent was more typical of Ezekiel’s emphasis before news of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-20

The Prophet and the IndividualThis passage combines an expanded repetition of Ezekiel 3:17-21 with a condensed repetition of Ezekiel 18:5-29. The prophet is a watchman, responsible for warning his people of the consequences of sin. God deals with individual souls in strict justice, and desires that all should turn from their evil ways and live. These principles, already announced, became of special importance, and found their real application, after the fall of Jerusalem. As Ezekiel had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-29

§ 1. The Restoration (Ezekiel 33-39)After an introductory passage (Ezekiel 33:1-20), and two short prophecies against the wicked survivors of Jerusalem and the careless exiles (Ezekiel 33:21-33), this section describes the restoration in connexion with the Ruler, the Land and the People successively. As to the Ruler, God is pictured as the Shepherd of Israel (Ezekiel 34). As to the Land, a prophecy against Edom (Ezekiel 35) introduces a new address to the mountain land of Israel (Ezekiel 36).... read more

§ 1. The Restoration (Ezekiel 33-39)After an introductory passage (Eze 33:1-20), and two short prophecies against the wicked survivors of Jerusalem and the careless exiles (Eze 33:21-33), this section describes the restoration in connexion with the Ruler, the Land and the People successively. As to the Ruler, God is pictured as the Shepherd of Israel (Ezekiel 34:0). As to the Land, a prophecy against Edom (Ezekiel 35:0) introduces a new address to the mountain land of Israel (Ezekiel 36:0). As... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-35

The New Israel (Ezekiel 33-48)So long as the Jewish kingdom remained in existence Ezekiel’s prophecies (those in Ezekiel 1-24) dealt almost exclusively with the nation’s sin, and with the certainty of its overthrow. But when these prophecies were fulfilled by the fall of Jerusalem his message assumed a new and hopeful character. God’s punishment of Israel’s sin was not the end of His dealings with His people. The destruction of the old sinful Israel would be followed by the establishment of a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 33:2

(2) Set him for their watchman.—The same figure as in Ezekiel 3:17. Ezekiel 33:2-9 form the introduction to this renewed commission, and closely correspond to Ezekiel 3:17-21. Yet these verses have also a distinct retrospective object, and explain to the people why he had hitherto spoken to them so much of judgments and in such warning tones; this had been his duty, both in obedience to God’s commands and in regard for their welfare, and it would still be his duty in the future. The passage is... read more
