エゼキエル書 37:9-14 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-14

Here is, I. The vision of a resurrection from death to life, and it is a glorious resurrection. This is a thing so utterly unknown to nature, and so contrary to its principles (a privatione ad habitum non datur regressus?from privation to possession there is no return), that we could have no thought of it but by the word of the Lord; and that it is certain by that word that there shall be a general resurrection of the dead some have urged from this vision, ?For? (say they) ?otherwise it would... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:9

Then said he unto me, prophesy unto the wind ,.... Before he had been prophesying to the bones, and over them; and something was done, but not to purpose, breath being wanting; wherefore he is bid to prophesy a second time, and that not to bones, but to the "wind", afterwards rendered "breath"; and may allude to the soul or breath of man reentering the body, as at a resurrection, which causes it to live: it signifies the "spirit" F24 הרוח "ad spiritum", Pagninus, Montanus, Cocceius,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:10

So I prophesied as he commanded me ,.... The second time he prophesied to the wind, as he had done to the bones, as he was ordered: and the issue of it was, and breath came into them ; or, "the spirit"; a spirit of courage in the Jews, to go up to their own land; the Spirit of life from Christ, which will enter into the witnesses slain, and revive them; and into the Jews in the latter day, and convert them; and which enters into dead sinners, and quickens them; and this he does while... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:11

Then he said unto me, son of man ,.... Here follow the explication and application of the above vision: these bones are the whole house of Israel ; an emblem of them, of their state and condition in the Babylonish captivity, and of them in their present state; and of the whole Israel of God, while in a state of unregeneracy: this phrase takes in the ten tribes, as well as the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, which returned from Babylon; and shows that respect is had to something more... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:12

Therefore prophesy, and say unto them ,.... For their comfort, in order to revive their hope, and encourage their faith, in these distressed circumstances: thus saith the Lord, behold, O my people : they were his people still, and he had a covenant interest in them, and they in him, though in such a low estate; and which was the ground of his care of them, and concern for them, and or doing all the good things to them after mentioned; all proceeded from his covenant, and the grace of it,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:13

And ye shall know that I am the Lord ,.... See Gill on Ezekiel 37:6 , when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves ; which is doing that for them which none but the omnipotent God could do; and they seeing his hand and power, his grace and mercy in it, will know, own, and acknowledge him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:14

And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live ,.... Not only a spirit of courage to go up into their own land, and live a civil and comfortable life there; but the Spirit of God, as a spirit of grace and supplication, of truth and holiness, of faith and adoption; and as a spirit of life, having produced a principle of life in them, and so should live spiritually and soberly, righteously and godly; see Ezekiel 36:27 , and I shall place you in your own land ; settle them there in... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:9

Prophesy unto the wind - רוח ruach . Address thyself to the soul, and command it to enter into these well-organized bodies, that they may live. Come from the four winds - Souls, come frown all parts where ye are scattered; and reanimate these bodies from; which ye have been so long separated. The four winds signify all parts - in every direction. Literally it is, "Souls, come from the four souls;" "Breath, come from the four breaths;" or, "Wind, come from the four winds." But here ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:12

I will open your graves - Here is a pointed allusion to the general resurrection; a doctrine properly credited and understood by the Jews, and to which our Lord refers, John 5:25 , John 5:28 , John 5:29 ; : "The hour is coming when they that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and come forth." And cause you to come up out of your graves - I am determined that ye shall be restored; so that were ye even in your graves, as mankind at the general resurrection, yet my all-powerful... read more
