에스겔 16:6-22 KRV

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:21

Verse 21 He strengthens the same sentence, and more clearly explains that they offered their sons and daughters by cruelly sacrificing them when they passed them through the fire. This was a kind of purifying, as we have seen elsewhere. When, therefore, they passed their children through the fire, it was a rite of illustration and expiation; and they brought them to the fire, as I have lately explained, in two different ways. Here the Prophet speaks especially of that cruel and brutal offering.... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:22

Verse 22 Here God accommodates to his own ends what he has hitherto related, namely, the extreme wickedness and baseness of the people’s ingratitude in thus prostituting themselves to idols. Hence he recalls to mind their condition when he espoused them. For if the wretched slavery from which they had been delivered had been present to their mind, they had not been so blinded with perverse confidence, nor had they exulted in their lasciviousness. But since they had forgotten all God’s benefits,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:1-14

Superhuman love. The main difficulty in producing a moral reformation among men is to convince them of their degradation—of the low level to which they have sunk. The first thing to be done is to hold up to their view some bright mirror, in the which they may discern clearly what manner of men they are. Such a mirror is provided in the chapter under consideration. We have pictured here— I. A FORMER LOATHSOME CONDITION . Sin is not merely resistance against proper authority, it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:1-15

A picture of human depravity and destitution, and of Divine condescension and favour. "Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations," etc. "We have here," says Hengstenberg, "one of the grandest prophecies of Ezekiel. The prophet surveys in the Spirit of God the whole of the development of Israel, the past and the future." In this development we have the following stages: The condition in which the Lord found his people; the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:1-63

The thought that underlies Ezekiel's parable, that Israel was the bride of Jehovah, and that her sin was that of the adulterous wife, was sufficiently familiar. Isaiah ( Isaiah 1:21 ) had spoken of the "faithful city that had become a harlot." Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 2:2 ) had represented Jehovah as remembering "the kindness of her youth, the love of her espousals." What is characteristic of Ezekiel's treatment of that image is that he does not recognize any period in which Israel had been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:6

For polluted , read, with the Revised Version, weltering, the primary meaning of the verb being that of stamping or treading, and omit "when thou wast," as weakening the condensed force of the original. The marvel of that unlooked for pity is emphasized by the iteration of the word of mercy, Live . The commentary of the Chaldee Targum is sufficiently curious to be quoted: "And the memory of my covenant with your fathers came into my mind, and I was revealed that I might redeem you,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:7

The tenses should be in the simple historic past: I caused; thou didst increase and wax great; thou attainedst, and so on (Revised Version). In the word "multiply" ( Exodus 1:7 ) the figure passes into historical reality. To excellent ornaments ; Hebrew, to ornament of ornaments. The word is commonly used of jewels, trinkets, and the like ( Exodus 33:4 ; 2 Samuel 1:24 ; Isaiah 49:18 ). So Vulgate, mundus muliebris. Here, however, the external adorning comes in Ezekiel 16:10 ,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:8

The words point to the time of the love of the espousals of Jeremiah 2:2 , interpreting the parable, when Israel had grown to the maturity of a nation's life, and gave promise, in spite of previous degradation, of capacities that would render it worthy of the love of the Divine Bridegroom. I spread my skirt over thee. Garments were often used as coverlets, and the act described was therefore, as in Ruth 3:9 , the received symbol of a completed marriage (comp. Deuteronomy 22:30 ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:9

The "washing" and "anointing" were part of the customary preparations for the marriage union ( Ruth 3:3 ; Esther 2:12 ; Judith 10:3). The mention of blood receives its explanation, not in the facts of Ezekiel 16:6 , but in the ceremonial rules of Le 15:19-24 read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:9-13

The glory of redemption. Under the similitude of a wretched child cast off by its mother and picked up by a passer by, Israel is shown to have been found by God in a miserable condition and cared for and blessed by him. Tins idea may be carried further as a symbol of the redemption of the Church by Christ. I. THE FIRST CONDITION IS ONE OF POLLUTION AND NEGLECT . Israel was in a miserable condition in Egypt when God had pity on his people. But the spiritual state of... read more
