에스겔 35:6-9 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:6

I will prepare thee unto blood . This peculiar expression was probably selected because of the suggestion of the name Edom ("red") contained in the term dam ("blood")—though Smend doubts this—and designed to intimate that Edom's name would eventually be verified in Edom's fate. And blood shall pursue thee . "As blood-guiltiness invariably pursues a murderer, cries for vengeance, and delivers him up to punishment" (Havernick), so should blood follow in the steps of Edom. The translation... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:7

Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate ; literally, desolation and a desolation ( שְׁמֲמָּה וּשְׁמָמָה ); or, as in the Revised Version, an astonishment and a desolation; changing שְׁמֲמַה into מְשַׁמָּה , for which, however, there is no sufficient warrant. And I will out off … him that passeth out (or, through ) and him that returneth . No more should traders or travelers pass through the land of Edom or go to and return from it (cf. Ezekiel 33:28 ; Zechariah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:8

And I will fill his mountains with his slain ; literally, pierced through; hence mortally wounded. Then Edom's desolation would result from an exterminating war, which should fill its hills, valleys, and rivers , or rather, water-courses , with slaughtered men (cf. Ezekiel 31:12 ; Ezekiel 32:5 ). The physical features of Edom here specified by the prophet have often been attested by travelers. "Idumea embraces a section of a broad mountain range, extending in breadth from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:9

Thy cities shall not return , as in Ezekiel 16:55 (Authorized Version after the Keri); or, shall not be inhabited , as in Ezekiel 26:20 ; Ezekiel 29:11 ; Ezekiel 36:33 ( LXX . and Revised Version, both of which follow the Chethib). Hengstenberg's translation, "Thy cities shall not sit," but lie prostrate, is not extremely happy. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 35:1-6

Ezekiel 35:1-6. Moreover, the word of the Lord, &c. “The prophet goes on to show, that the same reason which would operate in favour of the Jews, would not operate in favour of the heathen; especially not in favour of the Jews’ relations, the Edomites: for they showed no mercy, and therefore deserved to receive none; and, because they had perpetual hatred, they were to be made a perpetual desolation.” Obs. on Books. Set thy face against mount Seir Mount Seir is the same with Idumea:... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 35:7-12

Ezekiel 35:7-12. Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate Hebrew, לשׁממה ושׁממה , a desolation and a desolation, or, a desolation and an astonishment, as Bishop Newton renders it, following the reading of several MSS. And cut off from it him that passeth out, &c. No travellers shall go forward or backward in it with safety: see the margin. And thy cities shall not return Thy cities shall not be restored to thee again. This was exactly fulfilled; for the Nabatheans having driven... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Edom punished (35:1-15)Since the Jews were to inherit their land again, any foreign nation that attempted to occupy that land for itself had to be overcome. One such nation was Edom, symbolized here by its distinctive landmark, Mt Seir (35:1-4). Edom had a long record of bitter hatred of Israel, and with wicked vindictiveness had gladly helped Babylon crush Jerusalem in 587 BC. Therefore, Edom itself will be crushed. It will suffer the slaughter it made Jerusalem suffer. Its people will be... read more
