Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:5

5. If a man be just The just man, according to Ezekiel’s definition, is one who is faithful to God and is obedient to his written law (Ezekiel 18:6); he does that which is “lawful and right;” he is a pure man and a religious man. He is not only honest but merciful (Ezekiel 18:7), generous and true-hearted (Ezekiel 18:8-9), one who is true to God and kind to his brother. This is very similar to Micah’s “good man,” who must “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with his God” (Micah 6:8)... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:6

6. Eaten, etc. He has partaken of the sacrificial feast offered on the high places. The other acts of disobedience mentioned here are forbidden in Leviticus 15:24; Leviticus 17:7; Leviticus 18:19; Leviticus 19:26; Leviticus 5:10; Deuteronomy 22:22. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:7

7. Violence Rather, robbery. (Also Ezekiel 18:12; Ezekiel 18:16; Ezekiel 18:18.) It vividly shows the poverty of the “common people,” that they had to get back their cloak in order to have something with which to cover themselves at night. Of course they were expected to return the pledge the next morning; but no doubt often this was not done. The temptation, therefore, on the part of the creditor to break the law was very strong. The references here are to Exodus 22:21; Exodus 22:26;... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:8

8. References, Exodus 22:25; Leviticus 25:36-37; Deuteronomy 1:16; Deuteronomy 23:19. Usury Any interest charged to Hebrews was prohibited by the law, and therefore was usury in the modern sense of illegal interest. “A brother who would not help a brother to a loan without interest was not thought worthy of the name.” The “increase” forbidden seems to have been any profit on the sale of goods beyond the cost of production as measured by the maintenance of the worker and his family... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:9

9. He is just No man can truly obey God’s commandments without having an inner spirit of righteousness. This is expressed by the great Teacher and his apostles as emphatically as by Ezekiel (Matthew 25:35; Matthew 25:42; James 2:14-24; 1 John 2:3; 1 John 2:5; 1 John 2:10). read more
