Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 23:36-49

After the ten tribes were carried into captivity, and that kingdom was made quite desolate, the remains of it by degrees incorporated with the kingdom of Judah, and gained a settlement (many of them) in Jerusalem; so that the two sisters had in effect become one again; and therefore, in these verses, the prophet takes those to task jointly who were thus conjoined: ?Wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah together? Ezek. 23:36. Wilt thou go about to frame an excuse for them? Thou seest the matter... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 23:39

For when they had slain their children to their idols ,.... This explains more clearly what is before said, that by causing their children to pass through the fire was a slaying them; and that their passing through it "for them" was for their idols, and unto them; see Ezekiel 23:37 , and how when they had been guilty of such shocking wickedness, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it ; not that they came into the temple on purpose to profane it; but coming into it,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Inexcusable infidelity. What it must have cost the patriotic prophet to write this chapter passes our power to imagine. The Jew was naturally and pardonably proud of his country and of its history. No thoughtful Jew could, indeed, be insensible to imperfections and flaws in the national character, to stains upon the nation's annals. But in this passage of his prophecies the dark shading is relieved by no gleam of light. Israel is depicted as bad from the days of Egyptian bondage down to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 23:39

Yahweh was placed as it were in the list of deities, not acknowledged as the One God. Idols and idol-temples were erected close to the House of God, and yet the temple-service went on Jeremiah 32:34. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 23:36-39

Ezekiel 23:36-39. Wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah That is, Samaria and Jerusalem? The meaning is, Wilt thou not judge, or, Wilt thou not condemn them? That they have committed adultery, and blood is, &c. That they have been guilty of the heinous sins of murder and adultery; and have also caused their sons, &c.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 23:36-49

Judgment on the two sisters (23:36-49)The prophet links the two kingdoms for his summary of God’s judgment on them. Both kingdoms had copied the religious practices of their treaty partners, even to the extent of offering their children as blood sacrifices to foreign gods. They deliberately broke God’s law and defiled his temple (36-39).Both kingdoms acted like prostitutes, enticing foreign nations so that they could join with them in unions that were immoral and ungodly (40-41). These foreign... read more
