Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 6:1-14

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Ezekiel the sixth chapter.Ezekiel here addresses himself to the mountains of Israel. The people of Israel had built places of worship on the tops of the mountains, but not worship to Jehovah God, but to Baal, to Molech, Mammon. And because the mountains were the places for these altars and groves and places of pagan worship, he addresses the prophesy against the mountain telling of the desolation that is going to come. How that they are going to be wasted without... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 6:1-14

Ezekiel 6:3-4 . I will destroy your high places, all the necessaries of idolatry. במות bomoth, Βουνοι , thence Βωμοι . Your high altars. In Montfaucon’s Antiquities we have various views of heathen altars, all the devices of men. The druids preferred a tabular rock unhewn, supported by three pillars, usually called cromlechs. They had no idols; but the apostate jews had their idols in some adjacent temple or covering. Ezekiel 6:5 . I will scatter your bones round about your altars. ... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:13

13. Oak Rather, terebinth. This is an emphatic repetition of all the warnings uttered earlier in the chapter. If their iniquities shall continue as they will all these heavy punishments shall fall upon them. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:14

14. This punishment comes from the same Hand that in former times was lifted up against their enemies. The “spoiler of Moab” (Jeremiah 48:18-22) has now become the destroyer of his own chosen people (Ezekiel 33:28). It is seen from the Moabite stone that Diblath and Diblathaim may be used interchangeably. “Yea, desolate from the wilderness unto Riblah,” is a reading favored by some, but without sufficient reason. read more
