Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 16:46

Thine elder sister, i.e. the greater for power, riches, and numbers of people, not the elder for years. Samaria; metropolis, or mother city, of the revolted and idolatrous ten tribes. Her daughters; lesser cities of the kingdom of Israel, or the people who dwelt in them. At thy left hand; northward, as you look toward the east. Thy younger sister; or lesser, so the Hebrew; which consists of fewer people, is of less power. At thy right hand; southward from Jerusalem. Sodom, as chief city. Her... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 16:43-52

(Ezekiel 16:43-52)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 16:43. “Hast fretted Me in all these things.” Instead of regarding their calamaties as the just punishment of their sin, they raged against the Lord. The judgments that ought to have led them to repentance only served to make them desperate, and to plunge them into still greater depths of apostacy. “And thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.” “Lewdness and abomination are not in themselves different: the thought is, that the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:1-63

Shall we turn in our Bibles at this time to the sixteenth chapter of Ezekiel. The prophecy of Ezekiel, chapter 16.Ezekiel declares,Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations ( Ezekiel 16:1-2 ),So God is speaking out against Jerusalem. But, of course, a city is always made up of inhabitants. A city as itself is not good or evil. It all depends on what the people are that live within that city. So it is against those who are inhabiting... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 16:1-63

Ezekiel 16:3 . Thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite, a Chittith, a family of immodesty. The Israelites gloried in their descent from the holy patriarchs, heirs of the promises; but their moral descent was from the Chetim. All nations, as the Chaldeans, the Hebrews, and the Goths, boasted of a descent from God. Our Saxon chiefs always trace their genealogy up by a leap to Odin. Poole, after Sanctius, quotes the keen reproaches of queen Dido of Carthage against Æneas, who had... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:1-63

JERUSALEM’S UNFAITHFULNESS AND PUNISHMENT THE ADOPTED CHILD-WIFE, Ezekiel 16:1-43. In chaps. 13-15 the prophet has shown how untrustworthy are all the Israelitish hopes that punishment will not fall upon them for their sins. He now in a most powerful allegory makes Jerusalem “to know her abominations,” and to see that her destruction is the natural and inevitable result of her unchaste deeds. Jerusalem, representing here the chosen people, is pictured as a child of disreputable origin, cast... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:44-59

THE LOATHSOMENESS OF JERUSALEM, THE SPIRITUAL SISTER OF SODOM AND SAMARIA, DESCRIBED, Ezekiel 16:44-59. How brave the prophet who could speak thus! What awful satire, what dreadful execration! No wonder the prophet grew angry and bitter when he saw what burden of denunciation had been laid upon him. To say that his own beloved people are no better than the Hittites and Amorites, whom they abhorred; to say that Sodom and Samaria are their nearest spiritual relatives; to go further, and declare... read more
