James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:60-61

GOD’S COVENANT: ISRAEL’S WAYS‘I will remember … Thou shalt remember.’ Ezekiel 16:60-2 Peter : I. The key to the interpretation of the restoration held out in prospect for Sodom and Samaria and Jerusalem is the undeniably representative character of all three.—As this representative character of Judah-Jerusalem is clear in our prophet—that is to say, the Jewish people is represented in this, its characteristic remnant—so it is no less to be admitted in reference to Sodom and Samaria. The... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:60-62

The promise of Final Hope. The New Everlasting Covenant. Once again Ezekiel surprises us by introducing hope in the midst of gloom. He reminds us that God’s purpose behind all that is to come is the final restoration of His people. This is a trait of the book, the shining of a light in the midst of almost unrelieved gloom. Jerusalem must indeed fall, the Temple must indeed be destroyed, the people must indeed go though much turmoil and suffering, hope must almost seem gone, but in the end... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 16:60

The Lord having denounced a perpetual punishment to the stubborn, impenitent body of the Jewish nation, he doth now promise to the remnant that they shall be remembered and obtain covenanted mercy, which makes up the last part of the chapter. I will remember: properly neither remembering nor forgetting is in God, who is omniscient; but after the manner of man this is spoken of God, who is said to remember when he makes it appear that he hath regard to us, as Psalms 20:3, and blesseth us. My... 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

Joseph Sutcliffe

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

Daniel Whedon

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
