エゼキエル書 36:10-11 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

The prophet had been ordered to set his face towards the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them, Ezek. 6:2. Then God was coming forth to contend with his people; but now that God is returning in mercy to them he must speak good words and comfortable words to these mountains, Ezek. 36:1, 4. You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; and what he says to them he says to the hills, to the rivers, to the valleys, to the desolate wastes in the country, and to the cities that are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:10

And I will multiply men upon you ,.... Who should inhabit the cities on the mountains, and increase very much: all the house of Israel, even all of it : not the Heathens should be multiplied on them, but the Israelites, all of them, and them only; all the tribes of Israel, the ten tribes as well as the other; and which is repeated for the confirmation of it: by this it appears that the prophecy has a further view than to the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; for all did... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:11

And I will multiply upon you man and beast ,.... Not only men, but beasts also, of which the mountains had been deprived, being killed by the enemy for present use, or drove off for future subsistence; but now there should be an increase of them, which should feed upon the herbage of the mountains, and the rich pastures on them, to the great advantage of the proprietors: and they shall increase and bring forth ; or, "multiply and increase" F8 ורבו ופרו "multiplicabuntur et... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:11

I will multiply upon you man and beast - The agriculturalist and the beast of burden. And will do better unto you than at your beginnings - I agree with Calmet, that it would be difficult to show the literal fulfillment of this prophecy from the days of Zerubbabel to the birth of Christ. The colouring is too high for that period; and the whole falls in better with Gospel than with Jewish times. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

The material creation sharing in the fortunes of men. Man has a many-sided nature. He is linked with the past history of angels and with the past history of the entire universe. His interests and fortunes are interwoven with the material creation and with the dynamic forces of nature. He has an interest in heaven and in hell. The intelligences of the universe are interested in him, and he is interested in them. I. THE LAND OF CANAAN IS HONORED BY A DIVINE COMMUNICATION... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

Encouragement in exile. Israel was in a very deplorable condition. It was away from its native land, in the power and in the service of the enemy; its own "inheritance" was peopled by a poor and weak remnant; it was the prey and the butt of the merciless mocker; its fortunes were low, its heart was sad indeed; it could not sing the Lord's song in such a strange land as that in which it was exiled. But after words of condemnation comes the language of hope. The prophet of God is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

The present chapter is entirely devoted to the consolation of Israel, though its parts are derived from two separate "words" of Jehovah. Ezekiel 36:1-15 belong to the "word" which opened with the first verse of the preceding chapter; Ezekiel 36:16 begins another "word," which only closes at Ezekiel 37:14 . The subject of the first part is the comfort offered to Israel in the destruction threatened against the heathen, and in the blessings promised to her land and people. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:8-12

Promise of revival. Ezekiel is inspired to foretell the confusion of the enemies of Israel who have brought about her calamities, and who delight in her humiliation, and in their contempt deride her sorrows. But this in itself is small con-solution. And he adds predictions of the restoration, recovery, and revival of Israel after "her warfare is accomplished, and her iniquity is pardoned." The land and its inhabitants are naturally, as well as poetically, associated in his mind. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:10

Multiplying men. I. THE TRUE WEALTH OF A PEOPLE IS IN ITS POPULATION . God makes this promise to the house of Israel, that he "will multiply men." The land is desolate for want of inhabitants, the fields untilled for want of laborers, and the cities lying in ruins for lack of men to build up the waste places, The restoration shall be signalized by a return of the captives and a consequent increase of population. Now, the striking fact is that this multiplication of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:10-11

I will multiply men upon you . Jehovah's promise contemplated a return of both sections of the Golah , the whole house of Israel , Ephraim as well as Judah (comp. Ezekiel 20:40 ), to the land from which they had been deported, and a restoration of the united kingdom to a condition of prosperity in which its cities should again be inhabited, its ruined homesteads repaired, its fields cultivated, and its flocks and herds multiplied (see Ezekiel 16:55 ; Isaiah 44:26 ; Isaiah... read more
