에스겔 16:6-22 KRV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:14

And thy renown went forth among the Heathen for thy beauty ,.... Which consisted of the above things: with this compare Deuteronomy 6:4 , Psalm 48:2 ; the church's beauty lies in the righteousness of Christ imputed, to her; in the holiness of Christ reckoned unto her; in the blood of Christ being upon her, by which she is washed and cleansed, justified and pardoned; and in the graces of the Spirit of Christ implanted in her; and in the salvation of Christ she is interested in; and in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:15

But thou didst trust in thine own beauty ,.... As the Jews did in external gifts bestowed upon them; in their outward prosperity and grandeur; in their riches, wealth, and wisdom; and in the extent of their dominions, as in the days of David and Solomon; and in such things men are apt to; put their trust and confidence, and to be elated with, and grow proud and haughty, as a woman because of her beauty: so some professors of religion trust in a form and profession of it; in speculative... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:16

And of thy garments thou didst take ,.... Which were made of fine linen, silk, and broidered work; which God had given them, and they were richly clad with: and deckedst thy high places with divers colours ; that is, with garments of divers colours; either they erected tents on their high places, made with these; or they covered their altars with them, which were on their high places for the ornament of them, as harlots deck their beds to allure their lovers; see Proverbs 7:16 ; or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:17

Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold, and of my silver, which I had given thee ,.... Or "thy glorious vessels of gold and silver" F8 כלי תפארתך מזהבי ומכספי "vasa gloriae tuae de auro meo, et de argento meo", Pagninus, Montanus; "vasa tua insigniora et elegantiora, facta ex auro meo?" Vatablus. ; meaning either the vessels of gold and silver in the temple, as Jerom thinks, which they converted to idolatrous uses; or rather their own household vessels of gold and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:18

And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them ,.... The images of men, the idols they worshipped; see Jeremiah 10:4 ; so the Papists at this day cover their idols, the images of the Virgin Mary, and other saints, with rich apparel, to draw the attention, admiration, and reverence of the people to them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them ; the oil which the Lord gave them for food, the land of Canaan being a land of oil olive; or which was to light the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:19

My meat also which I gave thee ,.... Or "my bread" F9 ולחמי "et panem meum", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Starckius. ; a general name for all eatables. The Targum renders it, "my good things.' The Jews apply it to the manna, which, they say, descended the same day the molten calf was made, and they set it before it. This interpretation Jarchi and Kimchi make mention of; it includes what follows: fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee ; for the land of Canaan was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:20

Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters ,.... Their own flesh and blood; which were more than to take their clothes, and cover their idols with them, and their food, and set it before them to part with them was much, but to part with these, and that in such a shocking manner as after mentioned, was so irrational and unnatural, as well as impious and wicked, as is not to be paralleled; and what increased their wickedness was, that these were not only their own, but the Lord's: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:21

That thou hast slain my children ,.... By creation, as all born into the world are; and by national adoption, as all the Jewish children were; and particularly the firstborn were eminently his, and which are here designed, as Jarchi interprets it; for they were the children that were slain and sacrificed to Molech; see Ezekiel 20:26 ; and delivered, them to cause them to pass through the fire for them ? for the sake of idols, for the worship of them; this they did before they were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:22

And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms ,.... Or idolatries, which were abominable to God, and were many; of which that just mentioned was not one of the least: thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth ; the destitute and forlorn condition then in, and what favours were then bestowed: when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood ; See Gill on Ezekiel 16:6 ; See Gill on Ezekiel 16:7 ; which is mentioned to upbraid the Jews with their ingratitude;... read more
