Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:12

Edom, so named from Esau, consisted of various tribes enumerated in Genesis 36:0. The Edomites became a powerful nation before the Israelites came out of Egypt. David conquered them, but in the reign of Joram they rebelled and were not again subdued 2 Kings 8:20. Under the name of Idumea the land was conquered by John Hyrcanus (compare Ezekiel 25:14), when many of the people adopted the religion of the Jews. In later times the Idumean Herod became king of Palestine, reckoning himself as a Jew.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:1-2

Ezekiel 25:1-2. The word of the Lord came again unto me Though Ezekiel had finished his testimony with respect to the destruction of Jerusalem, he must not be silent; there were divers nations bordering upon the land of Israel which he must prophesy against, as Isaiah and Jeremiah had done before him; and must proclaim God’s controversy with them, chiefly because of the injuries and indignities which they had done to the people of God in the day of their calamity. God’s resenting thus the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:3

Ezekiel 25:3. Say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God Not the word of your god Chemosh, for, indeed, he is dumb, and utters no word; but the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, who is also the God of the whole earth; because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary Because, when thou shouldst have pitied, thou didst proudly insult over my people, and show thyself glad at the calamities that had befallen them; rejoicing that the temple was profaned and burned by the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:4-7

Ezekiel 25:4-7. Behold, I will deliver thee to the men of the east That is, to the Chaldeans, whose country lay east of the Ammonites. This people was accordingly conquered and subdued by the Chaldeans, about five years after the destruction of Jerusalem. And they shall drink thy milk Milk was the principal sustenance of those people, whose riches consisted chiefly in their stocks of cattle.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:8-10

Ezekiel 25:8-10. Because that Moab and Seir, &c. By Seir the Idumeans are intended. The prophet joins them together as guilty of the same crime, and then denounces particular judgments against each of them. Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen Hebrew ככל הגוים , like all the nations; subdued by Nebuchadnezzar indiscriminately with them; they are not distinguished from their neighbours by the protection of the God whom they worship, and they find no advantage in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:12-14

Ezekiel 25:12-14. Because that Edom, &c. “The Idumeans, being the posterity of Esau, bore an ancient grudge against the Jews, upon the account of their ancestor’s losing his right of primogeniture, and the subduing of Edom by David afterward, 2 Samuel 8:14. Upon both of these accounts they took hold of all opportunities of venting their spite against the Jewish nation: see particularly 2 Chronicles 28:17. For this their behaviour they were in former times reproved by Amos 1:11, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

25:1-32:32 JUDGMENTS AGAINST FOREIGN NATIONSOnce the exiles had been awakened, Ezekiel’s next task was to instruct them further about God’s future purposes for them. But before doing so, he shows how God will deal with Israel’s former oppressors. God is the controller not only of Israel’s destiny but also of the destinies of other nations. He will not allow sin to go unpunished, and he will especially deal with the four neighbouring nations who supported Babylon at the fall of Jerusalem. (For... read more
