Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:1

THE DEPARTURE OF GOD'S GLORYThis chapter concludes the section of Ezekiel 8-11 with the departure of God's glory. That momentous event is recorded in the last paragraph of the chapter; and prior to that there are recorded two very important messages: (1) for those remaining in Jerusalem, and (2) for the exiles in Babylon, in Ezekiel 11:1-13, and in Ezekiel 11:14-25 respectively.Howie expressed a view held by some that, "This is not a continuation of the vision that began in Ezekiel 8, but... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 11:1

Ezekiel 11:1. Five and twenty men— The same who are represented in chap. Eze 8:16 as worshipping the sun. They were princes of the people; that is to say, most probably members of the great Sanhedrim. Compare Jeremiah 26:10. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 11:1

The Spirit next lifted Ezekiel up in his vision and transported him to the east (main) gate of the temple courtyards where God’s glory had moved (cf. Ezekiel 10:19). There the prophet saw 25 of the governing leaders of the people of Jerusalem, including Jaazaniah the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah. [Note: See Cooper, p. 139, for archaeological confirmation of the existence of these men in Jerusalem at this time.] These 25 civic leaders were not the same individuals as the 25... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:1-25

The Doom of the Leaders of Jerusalem’s wickedness. Comfort for the ExilesThe slaughter in Ezekiel 9 was only the visionary rehearsal of a judgment still in the future. The vision now takes another turn, and shows the wicked inhabitants still alive. Ezekiel is brought to the outer eastern gate of the Temple where he finds a group of the leaders of Jerusalem’s sinful policy, two of whom are mentioned by name (Ezekiel 11:1-2). A proverb by which they express their light-hearted security is turned... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 11:1

(1) Brought me unto the east gate of the Lord’s house.—This is the same place, the main outer entrance to the whole Temple enclosure, to which the prophet had seen the cherubim go (Ezekiel 10:19). It is not expressly said where he was brought from; but the last place mentioned was the court of the priests (Ezekiel 8:16), and so far the vision appears to be consecutive. Standing in that innermost court, he had seen the Divine presence go forth to the outer entrance; and he also is now... read more

Ezekiel 11:2-3 The plans of the conspirators did not mature all at once Ezekiel on the Chebar had time to hear of them, and direct a prophecy against the 'men that devise mischief. These revolutionary spirits were not unaware of the risks they ran: 'This city is the caldron, and we be the flesh'. With a certain grim-ness of humour they acknowledge that it will be hot for them, but the strong city will protect them as the pot protects the flesh from the fire. Ezekiel tells them that the only... read more

YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATEEzekiel 8:1-18; Ezekiel 9:1-11; Ezekiel 10:1-22; Ezekiel 11:1-25ONE of the most instructive phases of religious belief among the Israelites of the seventh century was the superstitious regard in which the Temple at Jerusalem was held. Its prestige as the metropolitan sanctuary had no doubt steadily increased from the time when it was built. But it was in the crisis of the Assyrian invasion that the popular sentiment in favour of its peculiar sanctity was... read more
