Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:5
A perpetual hatred - The Edomites were the descendants of Esau; the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob. Both these were brothers; and between them there was contention even in the womb, and they lived generally in a state of enmity. Their descendants kept up the ancient feud: but the Edomites were implacable; they had not only a rooted but perpetual enmity to the Israelites, harassing and distressing them by all possible means; and they seized the opportunity, when the Israelites were most... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:6
Blood shall pursue thee - Thou lovest blood, and thou shalt have blood. It is said that Cyrus and two hundred thousand men were slain in an ambush by Thomyris, queen of the Scythians, and that she cut ok his head, and threw it into a vessel filled with blood, with this severe sarcasm: - Satia te sanguine quem sitisti, Cyre . "O Cyrus, now satisfy thyself with blood." Hence, the figure: - " Sarcasmus , with this biting taunt doth kill: Cyrus, thy thirst was blood, now drink thy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. As no date is given, the present oracle, extending to the close of Ezekiel 36:15 , may be assumed to have been communicated to and delivered by the prophet in immediate succession to the foregoing, with which it has also an intimate connection. Having announced the future restoration of Israel, as Jehovah's flock, to her own land under the leadership of Jehovah's servant David, who should feed them like a shepherd and rule them like a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-4
The desolation of Mount Seir. I. AN AFTER - THOUGHT OF JUDGMENT . This is a distressing and disappointing passage. We seemed to have done with the weary recital of successive judgments against the several heathen nations. Passing from these painful scenes, we had come to the cheerful picture of the restoration of Israel. Now that picture is rudely torn, and a description of the desolation of Mount Seir inserted in the midst of it. The darkness of this unexpected scene of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15
Special punishment of special sin. Very painful must it be to an intelligent spirit to be the executor of Jehovah's vengeance upon transgressors: the pain is only one remove the less to announce the coming doom. Yet, as we gain broader and clearer views of God's administration, we discover that the suffering of a few brings advantage to the many. The splendor and the rare excellence of God's righteousness are thereby clearly revealed. And gradually we perceive that pain and pleasure are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15
Features to be found in penalty. When God is obliged to be "against" a man or a people, as he was against Edom ( Ezekiel 35:2 ), he (it) may look for these three things in the retribution which impends— I. AN INFLICTION ANSWERING IN CHARACTER TO THE SIN . "Because thou hast given over … to the power of the sword … therefore … I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee" ( Ezekiel 35:5 , Ezekiel 35:6 ). Our Lord also himself tells us that "they who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:2
Set thy face against Mount Seir. The mountainous are in between the Dead Sea and the Elanitic Gulf, which formed the original settlement of Esau and his descendants ( Genesis 36:9 ), is here put for the land of Edom, as the land in turn stands for its people ( Ezekiel 25:8 ). Although already the prophet has pronounced a threatening doom against Edom ( Ezekiel 25:12-14 ), he once more directs against, it the judgments of Heaven, on this occasion viewing it as the representative of all... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:2
Set thy face against Mount Seir - That is, against the Edomites. This prophecy was probably delivered about the time of the preceding, and before the destruction of Idumea by Nebuchadnezzar, which took place about five years after. Calmet supposes that two destructions of Idumea are here foretold; one by Nebuchadnezzar, and the other by the Jews after their return from their captivity. read more
