以西結書 23:16 RCUVTS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 23:16

“And as soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messages to them to Chaldea.” This possibly has in mind the action of Hezekiah (Isaiah 39:1-8; 2 Kings 20:12-19), depicted in terms of a lovesick girl writing to someone whose photograph (depicted likeness) she has seen. But the idea is also more general. The flirtation was a continuous one. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Ezekiel 23. Fatal Alliance with Foreigners.— This is the third and last of the three great indictments ( Ezekiel 16, 20 ) which draw their material from the past rather than (as Ezekiel 22 ) from the present. Its underlying imagery is the same as that of ch. 16, but it differs from that chapter in dealing with the northern and southern kingdoms separately ( cf. Ezekiel 16:46) and in emphasizing political rather than religious entanglements, though of course foreign alliances did as a matter... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 23:16

Saw them; the portraits of them. She doted upon them; like an unsatiable and most impudent adulteress, she fell into most inordinate affection for their persons on sight of their pictures. Sent messengers unto them; courted the love of those strangers, and wooed their embraces, sent to make alliances with them, prostituted herself to them. Into Chaldea: though it was a long journey, troublesome and costly, all this hinders not this extravagant, lewd woman, she sends to these remote parts, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 23:11-21

(Ezekiel 23:11-21.)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—The spiritual adultery of Judah with Assyria, in which she surpasses Samaria in her iniquity.Ezekiel 23:11. “She was more corrupt in her inordinate love.” “Judah went much further than Samaria. It not only indulged in sinful intercourse with Assyria, which led on to idolatry as the latter had done, but it also allowed itself to be led astray by the splendour of Chaldea to form alliances with that imperial power, and to defile itself with her idolatry. And... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Chapter 23Now in chapter 23:The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, Son of man there were two women, who were the daughters of one mother: Now they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed ( Ezekiel 23:1-3 ),And he goes on to speak of these two daughters. The one's name is Aholah; she is the older one. And her younger sister is Aholibah. Now Aholah means her tent. Aholibah means her tent is in her. And in the interpreting... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Ezekiel 23:2 . There were two women, the daughters of one mother. Samaria and Jerusalem, cities introduced in the female character, as in Ezekiel 23:10; Ezekiel 23:48. Ezekiel 23:4 . Samaria is Aholah, or her tent, because they worshipped local divinities, and assembled under the shadow of trees and tents. Samaria is first mentioned under this comparison, because the kingdom of the ten tribes was the first to go astray, soon after the time of Solomon. She also doted on the invading... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Ezekiel 23:1-49Samaria is Aholah and Jerusalem Aholibah.Aholah and AholibahI. Sin is self-polluting and therefore self-destroying. Constant contact with sin will pollute the conscience, and render it powerless to fulfil the end for which it has been implanted in the man. It will destroy the understanding in the sense that it renders it unable to see and know the things of God (Ephesians 4:18-19). Sin persisted in defiles the will, and makes it like a palsied limb which has no power to perform... read more
