以西结书 12:16 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-16

Perhaps Ezekiel reflected with so much pleasure upon the vision he had had of the glory of God that often, since it went up from him, he was wishing it might come down to him again, and, having seen it once and a second time, he was willing to hope he might be a third time so favoured; but we do not find that he ever saw it any more, and yet the word of the Lord comes to him; for God did in divers manners speak to the fathers (Heb. 1:1) and they often heard the words of God when they did not... read more

But I will leave a few men of them ,.... Or, "men of number" F24 אנשי מספר "viros numeri", Montanus, Vatablus; "homines numero", Starckius. ; of a small number, such as are easily reckoned up; which will require no great skill in numbers, nor trouble to count them: from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence ; during the siege of Jerusalem, and at the breaking of it up; but then they should be carried captive into other countries: that they may declare all their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:16

Verse 16 Some think that God here speaks of the faithful, whom he had determined to preserve in the very midst of death. And certainly there is some mitigation of his former vengeance. But it is not in harmony with the rest to understand the faithful here, for he is speaking of the people in general. But as we have already seen that the slaughter of the city was such that God scattered the remnant to the four winds, and this the Prophet confirms. We must hold, then, first of all, that this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-16

The dramatic form of prophecy. It is of the first moment that men should have right and adequate impressions of the truth. A man's life is properly moulded through his intelligence. His intelligence moulds his tastes, feeds his emotions, inspires his purposes, directs his life. Clear convictions of truth and duty possess unspeakable value. I. MORAL OBTUSENESS IN MEN IS A GRIEF TO GOD . Eyes have been conferred for the sole reason that men may see; and ears, that they... read more

It parabolic appeal to a rebellious people. "The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying, Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house," etc. "Now begin the amplifications," says Hengstenberg, "the marginal notes, so to speak, on the great text in ch. 8-11; which extend to Ezekiel 19:1-14 ; and these terminate in a song, corresponding to the song in the first group in Ezekiel 7:1-27 . The approaching catastrophe of Jerusalem forms the central point throughout. The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 12:16

Few - literally, as in the margin; so few, that they can easily be counted Isaiah 10:19. The few who should escape destruction should make known to all among whom they should dwell how great had been the wickedness of the people, how just their punishment. read more

Ezekiel 12:9-16. Hath not the house of Israel said That is, I know they have said; as the words, “are they not written in the book of Chronicles, &c.?” mean, they are written there. What doest thou, &c. They have inquired by way of derision and contempt, what these signs mean. Say This burden concerneth the prince, &c. Namely, King Zedekiah, chap. Ezekiel 7:27. The prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder, &c. Their king shall even be forced himself to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-16

Pictures of exile (12:1-16)It appears that many of the exiles were rebellious against God because of his message of doom, and were still hoping for an early return to Jerusalem (12:1-2). God therefore commanded Ezekiel to act another message for them. He was to show that the exiles had no chance of returning to Jerusalem. On the contrary, the Jerusalemites would come to join the exiles in Babylon. Ezekiel’s daytime act was to gather a few belongings that an exile could carry with him and set... read more

16. I will leave a few . . . that they may declare . . . abominations—God's purpose in scattering a remnant of Jews among the Gentiles; namely, not only that they themselves should be weaned from idolatry (see :-), but that by their own word, as also by their whole state as exiles, they should make God's righteousness manifest among the Gentiles, as vindicated in their punishment for their sins (compare Isaiah 43:10; Zechariah 8:13). read more
