Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The Oracle Against Edom (Ezekiel 25:12-14 ). Edom has already been mentioned in the charge against Moab. Ammon and Moab were seen as brother nations descended from Lot (Genesis 19:37-38), while Edom was seen as descended from Esau (Genesis 32:3; Genesis 36:8). They were thus related nations, and their land was seen as given to them by Yahweh, which was why Moses had sought to avoid conflict with them (Deuteronomy 2:18-19; Deuteronomy 2:22). But now He was taking it away from them. They had... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 25:13

Stretch out mine hand: see Ezekiel 25:7, and Ezekiel 16:27. Cut off man, by the sword of the Chaldeans, and by other wasting evils which accompany wars, as famine, pestilence, and other diseases. And beast; either their cattle should be driven away by the plundering soldier, or devoured by the mighty numerous army of Nebuchadnezzar, or wasted with murrain, or all should concur to unstock their pastures. Desolate; a desolation, i.e. most desolate. From Teman; from the south, so the Chaldee... read more

PREDICTIONS OF JUDGMENTS UPON THE AMMONITES, MOABITES, EDOMITES, AND PHILISTINES. (Chap. 25)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—In chs. 25–32, we come to a new group of prophecies. They are predictions of judgment upon the heathen nations.“While the prophet’s mouth was to be mute to Israel, the Lord directed him to speak against the heathen nations, and to foretell to them the judgment of destruction, that they might not be lifted up by the fall of the people and kingdom of God, but might recognise in the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

Chapter 25Now beginning with chapter 25, God begins to pronounce His judgment upon the surrounding nations of Israel. And the first, of course, that of the Ammonites. We have today the city of Ammon, which comes from Ammonites, and the city of Ammon is the capitol of Jordan. And so the Ammonites and the Moabites who are going to be reviewed here for judgment are modern-day Moab. When we get to Edom, you are moving down to the southern part--or modern-day Jordan-when you move down into Edom, you... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:1-17

Ezekiel 25:5 . I will make Rabbah a stable for camels a couching-place for flocks. Nebuchadnezzar destroyed this ancient city about four years after the fall of Jerusalem. Ptolemy Philadelphus rebuilt it, and it was afterwards called Philadelphia, as in Revelation 3:7. It continued more than a century after the commencement of the christian era, had in it a Greek cathedral and several churches, and was encompassed with a lofty wall of great extent. It was situate about thirty miles from... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:13

13. Teman; and they of Dedan, etc. Rather, from Teman unto Dedan shall they fall. Teman and Dedan were respectively the north and south frontier districts of Edom. The inhabitants of this region were celebrated for their wisdom (Jeremiah 49:7; Obadiah 1:8-9). The most eloquent speaker in Job is Eliphaz the Temanite (Job 2:11; Job 4:1). So they are called in Baruch (Ezekiel 3:22-23), “authors of fables, the searchers out of understanding.” This district was situated in the caravan route... read more
