Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:17-23

Condemnation of the female false prophets 13:17-23There were female as well as male prophets in Israel (Exodus 15:20; Judges 4:4; 2 Kings 22:14; Nehemiah 6:14; Luke 2:36) and in the early church (Acts 21:9; 1 Corinthians 11:5). However there were far fewer female than male prophets, and there was no formal order or class of female prophets. God raised up female prophets according to His sovereign purposes occasionally, but He usually used males for this ministry. Females who were not true... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:18

He was to announce Yahweh’s judgment on these women who sewed cloth bands to place on the wrists and floor-length veils on the heads of themselves or the objects of their "prophesying." They used these aids to impress people and to cast spells on (to influence) people to bring them under their power (cf. Jeremiah 7:18; Jeremiah 44:17; Jeremiah 44:19)."The activities attributed to these women suggest that they were more like witches or sorcerers than prophets [cf. 1 Samuel 28:7]." [Note: Cooper,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:19

Ezekiel was to announce judgment on those who indulged in these occult practices and perverted justice for only a little food or as a means of divination."In some cultures barley was used in occult practices either as an offering to the spirits or as a means of trying to determine the future." [Note: Dyer, "Ezekiel," p. 1252.] These women had been willing to put some to death who did not deserve to die and to save others from death who did deserve to die. This was the result of their lying to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:20-21

The Lord promised to oppose their practice of using magic bands to hunt down innocent lives. He would tear these bands from their arms and release the people that these false prophetesses had snared like birds. He would also tear off the veils they used to hunt the innocent and free those whom they had hunted down. These women were using some sort of magic to control people. Then these false prophetesses would know that the Lord was God. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:22-23

Because these false prophetesses discouraged the righteous with falsehood without divine authorization and encouraged the wicked to continue in their wickedness, they would no longer see false visions or practice divination. They would die. The Lord would deliver His people from their deadly hands, and they would know that He was the Lord. [Note: For another study of this passage, see W. H. Brownlee, "Exorcising the Souls from Ezekiel xiii, 17-23," Journal of Biblical Literature 69... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-23

On Prophecy, True and FalseAfter rebuking certain prevalent forms of contempt for prophecy (Eze 12:21-28), Ezekiel reproves the false prophets (Eze 13:1-16) and false prophetesses (Eze 13:17-23) of Israel. A visit from the elders next supplies the occasion for an announcement of the principles on which God deals both with false enquirers and with the prophets who answer them (Eze 14:1-11).(a) Contempt of Prophecy Rebuked (Eze 12:21-28)This contempt took two forms. On the one hand it had become... read more
