3. The Two Discourses of Rebuke (Ch. 6 and 7).Ezekiel 6:1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Son of man, set 2thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them. And say, 3Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 6:1-14

These signs were followed by denunciations growing naturally out of what they had taught. In general terms, the prophet first foretold the coming judgment of the sword against the whole land, and the consequent scattering of the people. It was distinctly declared that in this process of judgment Jehovah would preserve a remnant of those who would escape from the destruction of Jerusalem, and in whose mind the judgment would remain, producing repentance, and the conviction that the word of God... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:1-5

‘And the word of Yahweh came to me saying, “Son of man, set your face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them, and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, “Behold I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places, and your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:1-7

Ezekiel 6. The Doom of the Sinful Mountains. Ezekiel 6:1-Judges : . Not only, however, was Jerusalem steeped in sin, but the whole land; therefore the whole land is here addressed and denounced, or rather the mountains, partly because the mountains were the conspicuous and characteristic feature of Canaan: but more especially because from time immemorial the “ high places” upon them had been the seat of idolatry. The Hebrews had taken them over from the Canaanites, and with them many elements... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 6:5

Lay before their idols; expose to open shame, while the carcasses of idolaters recall to mind their shameful folly and sin. Carcasses; either of such as are newly slain, or such as the Chaldeans did dig out of their graves, in spite, contempt, or covetousness, hoping to find some costly ornaments buried with them. So God fulfills that of Leviticus 26:30. I will scatter your bones, as unworthy to be laid up in earth, who had so highly provoked the God of heaven; they are made dung who served... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 6:1-14

4. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF ISRAEL’S CONDUCT (Chap. 6)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—The judgment on places of idolatry and the worshippers (Ezekiel 6:1-7). After asserting, in Ezekiel 6:1, his renewed consciousness that he was to speak from the inworking power of the Lord, Ezekiel unfolds the procedure which will be taken. Here he has special reference to the whole country, as in chaps. 4 and 5 the city Jerusalem was chiefly in view.Ezekiel 6:2. “Son of man, set thy face,” a frequent... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 6:1-14

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Ezekiel the sixth chapter.Ezekiel here addresses himself to the mountains of Israel. The people of Israel had built places of worship on the tops of the mountains, but not worship to Jehovah God, but to Baal, to Molech, Mammon. And because the mountains were the places for these altars and groves and places of pagan worship, he addresses the prophesy against the mountain telling of the desolation that is going to come. How that they are going to be wasted without... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 6:1-14

Ezekiel 6:3-4 . I will destroy your high places, all the necessaries of idolatry. במות bomoth, Βουνοι , thence Βωμοι . Your high altars. In Montfaucon’s Antiquities we have various views of heathen altars, all the devices of men. The druids preferred a tabular rock unhewn, supported by three pillars, usually called cromlechs. They had no idols; but the apostate jews had their idols in some adjacent temple or covering. Ezekiel 6:5 . I will scatter your bones round about your altars. ... read more
