以西結書 30:21-22 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 30:20-26

This short prophecy of the weakening of the power of Egypt was delivered about the time that the army of the Egyptians, which attempted to raise the siege of Jerusalem, was frustrated in its enterprises, and returned re infectâ?without accomplishing their purpose; whereupon the king of Babylon renewed the siege and carried his point. The kingdom of Egypt was very ancient, and had been for many ages considerable. That of Babylon had but lately arrived at its great pomp and power, being built... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:21

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt ,.... Not Pharaohnecho, king of Egypt, whose army was overthrown at Carchemish by the king of Babylon, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim; when the latter took from the former all that belonged to him between the river of Egypt and the river Euphrates; by which he was so weakened and dispirited, that he could not stir any more out of his own land, Jeremiah 46:2 and of him Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it; but Pharaohhophra, or Apries,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:22

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt ,.... The then present king of Egypt, whose name was Hophra or Apries, Jeremiah 44:30 , and I will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken : both his arms, the sound and the broken one, his whole power, strength, and dominion; meaning that that part of his kingdom which lay between the two rivers of Egypt and Euphrates, that had been taken away by the king of Babylon, should remain so; and the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 30:21

I have broken the arm of Pharaoh - Perhaps this may refer to his defeat by Nebuchadnezzar, when he was coming with the Egyptian army to succor Jerusalem. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 30:22

I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand - When the arm is broken, the sword will naturally fall. But these expressions show that the Egyptians would be rendered wholly useless to Zedekiah, and should never more recover their political strength. This was the case from the time of the rebellion of Amasis. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:20-24

One strengthened and another weakened. Historians chronicle the events which take place among the nations, and especially those which bring about the transference of supremacy, hegemony, from one people to another. The great empires of antiquity succeeded one another in a movement both picturesque and instructive. Ezekiel, in this passage, describes the defeat and humiliation of Egypt, and the victory and exaltation of Babylon. But he does more than this; as a religious teacher and prophet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:20-26

Broken arms. Pharaoh's arms are to be broken, while the arms of the King of Babylon are to be strengthened. This metaphor describes the condition of the great empires that is consequent on the shock of conflict. The broken arm is suggestive of loss of power. I. IT IS A CALAMITY TO LOSE POWER . This is felt to be so physically. So it is spiritually; for there are broken-armed Churches and broken-armed souls. 1. Men suffer great inconvenience who have broken arms . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:20-26

The broken arm. It is marvelous that men do not realize as a fact how completely dependent they are upon the unseen God. In theory, the bulk of men are theists; in practice, atheists. It would produce a blessed revolution in society if believers in God's nearness lived up to their beliefs. How differently would kings and statesmen act, compared with their ordinary conduct! What a scene of order and quietness would our earth become! I. THAT A CONFLICT BETWEEN NATIONS MAY BE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:21

I have broken the arm . The metaphor was in itself one of the most familiar ( Ezekiel 17:9 ; Ezekiel 22:6 ; 1 Samuel 2:31 ; Jeremiah 48:25 ). What is characteristic in Ezekiel is the way in which he follows the figure, so to speak, into its surgical details. A man with a broken arm might be cured and fight again; but it was not to be so with Pharaoh. His arm was not to be bound with a roller (the equivalent of the modern process of putting it in "splints"). The Hebrew word for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:21-24

The broken and the strengthened arm. "I have broken the arm of Pharaoh King of Egypt;" "I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon." These words suggest to us three things. I. GOD 'S ACTION ON ALL THE NATIONS . God was in an especial sense "the God of Israel," but certainly not in an exclusive sense. He was, as he is, the God of all the nations. He was observing, directing, overruling everywhere. If Egypt fell, it was because he "broke the arm of Pharaoh;" if Babylon... read more
