Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 4:1-8

3. FIRST INSTRUCTIONS BY SIGNS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION(Chaps. Ezekiel 4:1 to Ezekiel 5:17).EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel is ordered to carry out certain specified processes. Their purport is expressed by the words (Ezekiel 4:3), “This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.” The use of such signs is partly to be accounted for by the circumstances of a prophet whose dwelling was in a country in which symbolical figures were striking and not unusual; partly by the psychological fact that his actings... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 4:1-17

Chapter 4Now thou also, Son of man, take a tile ( Ezekiel 4:1 ),Now this is a brick, and it's about twelve inches by fourteen inches. The archeologists have uncovered thousands of these bricks there in the area of Babylon. This is what they wrote their records on. And their libraries were full of these tiles or bricks. They were a clay brick and they would write, they would scratch in these clay bricks. And so the Lord is telling him to take one of these drawing boards, one of these drawing... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 4:1-17

Ezekiel 4:1 . Son of man, take thee a tile. It is probable that the prophet took a sheet of plastic clay proper for his purpose; for the Hebrew root בנה banah, is generally applied to construction in various kinds of architecture. On this tablet of clay he made a model of Jerusalem, and so well defined that all the jews would know it. Against this city he traced the lines of the besieging army, and against the towers of Jerusalem he built his pugnacula, as the Greek seems to import,... read more

Ezekiel 4:1-8Take thee a tile. The ministry of symbolismIn this chapter there begins a series of symbols utterly impossible of modern interpretation. This ministry of symbolism has still a place in all progressive civilisation. Every age, of course, necessitates its own emblems and types, its own apocalypse of wonders and signs, but the meaning of the whole is that God has yet something to be revealed which cannot at the moment be expressed in plain language. If we could see into the inner... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 4:5

Eze 4:5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. Ver. 5. Three hundred and ninety days. ] That is, say some, the siege of Jerusalem shall continue so many days - via, thirteen months, or thereabouts. But they do better, who, taking a day for a year in both the accounts, as Eze 4:6 and making the forty of Judah to run along with the last year of Israel’s... read more

forty days: This represented the forty years during which gross idolatry prevailed in Judah, from the reformation of Josiah, bc 624, to the same final desolation of the land. Some think that the period of 390 days also predicts the duration of the siege of the Babylonians - Ezekiel 4:9, deducting from it five months and twenty-nine days, when the besiegers went to meet the Egyptians - 2 Kings 25:1-Numbers :, Jeremiah 37:5, and that forty days may have been employed in desolating the temple and... read more
