エゼキエル書 47:18-19 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 47:13-22

We are now to pass from the affairs of the sanctuary to those of the state, from the city to the country. 1. The Land of Canaan is here secured to them for an inheritance (Ezek. 47:14): I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers, that is, promised it upon oath to them and their posterity. Though the possession had been a great while discontinued, yet God had not forgotten his oath which he swore to their fathers. Though God's providences may for a time seem to contradict his promises,... read more

And the south side southward from Tamar ,.... Not Jericho, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, called by this name from the palm trees which grew near it; according to Jerom, this is Palmyra, so called for the same reason; but it is rather Engedi, called Hazazontamar, 2 Chronicles 20:2 , the line of the southern border began here, and went on, even to the waters of strife in Kadesh ; to the waters of Meribah in Kadesh; so called, from the strivings of the children of Israel with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:13-21

The inheritance of the children. The prophet was locking forward to the restoration of his fellow-countrymen to the land given by God to their fathers. The temple and all that concerns its services and ministrations having been described, Ezekiel naturally turns in the next place to picture the repossessed and apportioned inheritances. There are difficulties in interpreting this passage relating to the territories given to the several tribes; but there can be no doubt that the prophet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:13-23

Canaan a type of heaven. To the Jews exiled in Chaldea restoration to Palestine seemed a lesser heaven. To regain their land, their ancestral estates, their temple, their priesthood, was the goal of present ambition, was a steppingstone to yet higher good. The prophetic pictures of Ezekiel were designed to tempt their thoughts to loftier soarings. A better thing than Canaan was in store for them, but as yet they could not appreciate it, therefore could not perceive it. So, by slow and... read more

And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, etc. The Revised Version, after Keil and Kliefoth, translates, And the east side , between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead , and the land of Israel , shall be (the) Jordan ; from the (north) border unto the east sea shall ye measure . Smend offers as the correct rendering, The east side goes from between Hauran and Damascus , and from between Gilead and the land of Israel , along the Jordan , from the... read more
