에스겔 25:1-14 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:10

Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites . The Authorized Version is obscure. What is meant is that the Moabites as well as the Ammonites were to be given to the nomadic tribes, the "children of the east," for a possession. The doom that Ammon was to be no more remembered ( Ezekiel 21:32 ) was to be carried out to the uttermost, and the children of the east were to complete what Nebuchadnezzar had begun. The utter destruction of Ammon was, as it were, uppermost in the prophet's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:10

A forgotten people. "That the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations." We have the name of this little nation preserved, but even that only reaches us through its connection with Israel; or if archaeologists can point it out to us on ancient inscriptions, no history of value, nothing to identify the race, remains. It is, indeed, a forgotten people. Let us consider how a nation may bring upon itself this fate of oblivion. I. IT MAY CEASE TO EXIST . Though the Jewish... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-13

Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah , etc. The statement receives many illustrations, notably in Psalms 137:7 , and at an earlier date in Amos 1:11 ; Obadiah 1:11 . What had been malicious exultation (the ἐπιχαιρεκακία , which Aristotle describes as the extremest type of evil) passed in the case of Edom into overt acts of hostility. The moment of Judah's weakness was seized on as an opportunity for gratifying what Ezekiel elsewhere ( Ezekiel 35:5 ) calls the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The revengeful nation. The Edomites are characterized as an especially revengeful people, because they watched for their opportunity, and, when the Jews were crushed and prostrate beneath the cruel Chaldean invasion, rushed in to smite their fallen foe. I. THE WICKED REVENGE . 1. Vengeance is presumptuous . There is a right recompense for sin, but this lies with God. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" ( Romans 12:19 ). He who seizes the weapons of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The hostility add the curse of Edom. Often in the course of Old Testament history do we meet with references to the inhabitants of Edom, and usually they are exhibited as taking an attitude of hostility towards the chosen people. It is certainly remarkable that Ezekiel, in his Eastern captivity, should concern himself with these border states. But it is evident that he was at the time very deeply impressed with the great principle of national responsibility and national retribution; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The judgment of Edom; or, the sin and punishment of revenge. "Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance," etc. The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, who settled in Mount Seir immediately after the death of his father Isaac. The country in which they dwelt was called Edom, or Idumaea. It was situated south of the territory of Moab; and "it only embraced the narrow mountainous tract (about a hundred miles long by twenty broad)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:14

By the hand of my people Israel : The words received a fulfillment in the conquest of Edom by John Hyrcanus, who compelled its people to receive circumcision (Josephus, 'Ant.,' 13.9. 1). In Amos 9:12 its subjugation is connected with the Messianic prophecy that the fallen tabernacle of David should be raised up. There is an obvious emphasis in the repetition of the word vengeance . The law of a Divine retribution will work out its appointed purpose-vengeance to those who sought... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-7

It was a distinct part of scriptural prophecy to address pagan nations. In Isaiah Isa. 13–19, Jeremiah Jer. 46–51, and here Ezek. 25–32, one section is specially devoted to a collection of such prophecies. Every such prediction had the general purpose of exhibiting the conflict ever waging between the servants of God and the powers of the world, the struggle in which the Church of Christ has still to wrestle against her foes Ephesians 6:12, but in which she will surely prevail.It was a distinct... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:8

Prophecies against Moab which lay south of Ammon, and shared Ammon’s implacable hostility to the children of Israel.Seir was close to Moab. Edom is identified with Mount “Seir” in Ezekiel 35:1-15; and “Seir” is therefore probably coupled with “Moab” here because, being near neighbors closely leagued together, they expressed a common exultation at Jerusalem’s fall. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:9

I will open the side ... - i. e., lay it open to the attack of the enemy from the cities, from his cities, from his frontier (or, in every quarter). There is an ironical stress on “his” cities, because these cities belonged not to Moab but to Israel, having been assigned to the Reubenites Numbers 32:38; Joshua 13:20. They lay to the north of the river Arnon, which was the proper boundary of Moab Numbers 21:13. The Moabites had in the last days of the kingdom of Israel recovered this territory... read more
