Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:1-15

1-15 Those who put contempt and reproach on God's people, will have them turned on themselves. God promises favour to his Israel. We have no reason to complain, if the more unkind men are, the more kind God is. They shall come again to their own border. It was a type of the heavenly Canaan, of which all God's children are heirs, and into which they all shall be brought together. And when God returns in mercy to a people who return to him in duty, all their grievances will be set right. The full... read more

The Mountains of Israel Comforted v. 1. Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, here representing the entire country, as Mount Seir stood for Idumea in the foregoing section, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, formerly the places of idol worship and as such made prominent in this connection, hear the word of the Lord: v. 2. Thus saith the Lord God, Because the enemy hath said against you, Edom, as the representative of all God's foes, Aha! even the ancient high places... read more

CHAPTER 361And thou, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah. 2Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because the enemy says over you, Aha! and the everlasting heights have become a possession for us; 3Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because, because “make desolate” [is said to you], and they snap after you round about, that ye may be [become] a possession to the remnant of the heathen, and ye are lifted up on the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 36:1-38

In contrast with Mount Seir the prophet placed the mountains of Israel, as he delivered the word of the Lord to them. They had been the scorn of their enemies, who had made them desolate and swallowed them up. Therefore Jehovah would proceed against these enemies, and deliver Israel from their oppression. As a result of such deliverance, the whole land, its mountains and its hills, its water courses and its valleys would be made abundantly fruitful. Men would be multiplied, the cities... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:3

“Therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, because, even because they have made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of nations, and you are taken up on the lips of gossips, and the evil report of the people. Therefore you mountains of Israel hear the word of the Lord Yahweh, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountain and to the hills, to the watercourses (streams and rivers) and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:1-15

Ezekiel 36:1-Ezra : . The Restoration and Renewal of Israel’ s Land.— This chapter is brilliant with hope and promise. First comes a fine apostrophe ( Ezekiel 36:1-Ezra :), tremulous with emotion ( cf. Ezekiel 36:4), to the mountain land of Israel (contrast ch. 6). Mocked and desolated as it had been by the enemy, and especially by Edom, Yahweh, whose own honour has been involved in these insults to His land, solemnly vows that the enemy shall be overtaken by the doom which they had brought... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:3

Because they, Edomites, and others with them, have made you desolate; first broken your strength, wasted your cities, and burnt the temple, and waylaid you, to cut off them that were escaped at last. Swallowed you up; devoured you, as hungry beasts devour the prey. On every side; from all coasts of the land, through the whole. That ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen; that such of the heathen as remained here might have, what they no where else could have, being the scum... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:4

To the hills: now is added a particular of hills, valleys, &c., whereas before only the mountains were mentioned, but by them the whole land was understood; and to assure them thereof, all parts are here particularly mentioned: all that the enemy wasted shall be repaired, all that he took away shall be restored in kind, and those he derided shall be vindicated; their estates repaired, cities rebuilt and filled, their credit and honour cleared and vindicated. Their deliverance should be... read more

They are here personified: Israel’s elevation is moral, not merely physical, as Edom’s.Ezekiel 36:2. “The ancient high places.” “The perpetual heights are the natural mountains, as a figure of the unchangeable grandeur of which Israel boasted, because it had the Eternal for its protector, and in Him the security of its own perpetuity”... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Ezekiel 36:0 as we continue our study in this very fascinating prophecy.In chapter 36 Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Now this is the second time he prophesied to the mountains of Israel. The first time was back in chapter 6, and he was prophesying the desolations that would come to the mountains of Israel and to the cities because they had built the high places on the mountains and worshipped the false images, idols, and gods. And... read more
