エゼキエル書 24:6 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

We have here, I. The notice God gives to Ezekiel in Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar's laying siege to Jerusalem, just at the time when he was doing it (Ezek. 24:2): ?Son of man, take notice, the king of Babylon, who is now abroad with his army, thou knowest not where, set himself against Jerusalem this same day.? It was many miles, it was many days? journey, from Jerusalem to Babylon. Perhaps the last intelligence they had from the army was that the design was upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:6

Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, woe to the bloody city ,.... Here the parable begins to be explained; and shows that by the pot is meant the city of Jerusalem, called the bloody city, because of the blood of the prophets, and of righteous persons, and of innocent babes, that was shed in it; and which was the cause of the judgments of God coming upon her, which would issue in her destruction, and therefore "woe unto her"; see Matthew 23:37 , to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 24:6

Let no lot fall upon it - Pull out the flesh indiscriminately; let no piece be chosen for king or priest; thus showing that all should be involved in one indiscriminate ruin. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The consuming cauldron. The threatened judgment has at last descended upon the guilty city; and Ezekiel, far away in the land of the Captivity, sees in vision, and declares to his fellow-captives by a parable, the siege of Jerusalem now actually taking place. As in so many parts of his prophecies, Ezekiel reveals by symbol that which he has to communicate. Opinions differ as to whether the cauldron was actually filled with the joints of animals and was actually heated by a fire. But the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The interior mechanism of war. The prophet is commissioned to employ another homely metaphor. The patience and ingenuity of God's love are inexhaustible. The homeliest imagery is employed with a view to vivid and abiding impression. Here it is shown that behind all the machinery and circumstance of war, a hand Divine directs and overrules. A moral force resides within the material and human agency. I. THE NECESSITY FOR THE SCOURGE . The necessity arose from the excessive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The parable of the cauldron; or, the judgment upon Jerusalem. "Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me," etc. The interpretation of the chief features of this parable is not difficult. "The cauldron is Jerusalem. The flesh and the bones that are put therein are the Jews, the ordinary inhabitants of the city and the fugitives from the country. The fire is the fire of war. Water is poured into the cauldron, because in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:6

Scum . The word is not found elsewhere. The Authorized Version follows the Vulgate. Keil and the Revised Version give "rust." As the cauldron was of brass ( Ezekiel 24:11 ), this must have been the verdigris which was eating into the metal, and which even the blazing fire could not get rid of. The pieces that are to be brought out are the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are to be carried into exile. There was to be "no lot cast," as was often done with prisoners of war, taking every tenth... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:6

Scum - Better, rust (and in Ezekiel 24:11-12).Bring it out piece by piece - It, the city; bring out the inhabitants, one by one, clear the city of them, whether by death, exile, or captivity.Let no lot fall upon it - In the captivity of Jehoiakim and in that of Jehoiachin, some were taken, others left. Now all shall be removed. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 24:6-8

Ezekiel 24:6-8. Wherefore thus saith the Lord Here begins an explication of the preceding symbolical representation; Wo to the bloody city Jerusalem, which is this pot; whose scum is therein Whose filthiness, or wickedness, is not purged out of it. Bring it out piece by piece One piece after another till all be taken. Let nothing be left in it; let it be emptied of every thing. This signified the entire ruin and spoil of the city and the inhabitants of it, all without distinction... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The cooking pot (24:1-14)On the day Babylon began its siege of Jerusalem, Ezekiel spoke another message (24:1-2; see 2 Kings 25:1). Previously the Jerusalemites had boasted that the walls of the city would protect them from the Babylonian armies as a cooking pot protects the meat within from the fire (see 11:3). Ezekiel now uses the illustration of the cooking pot in an entirely opposite sense. The people of Jerusalem (the meat in the pot) are going to be ‘cooked alive’ by the ‘fire’ of the... read more
