以西结书 24:4 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

We have here, I. The notice God gives to Ezekiel in Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar's laying siege to Jerusalem, just at the time when he was doing it (Ezek. 24:2): ?Son of man, take notice, the king of Babylon, who is now abroad with his army, thou knowest not where, set himself against Jerusalem this same day.? It was many miles, it was many days? journey, from Jerusalem to Babylon. Perhaps the last intelligence they had from the army was that the design was upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:4

Gather the pieces thereof into it ,.... fire being made, and the pot set on, and water poured into it, the next thing is, to put in the pieces that are to be boiled; and these are to be gathered; meaning the people of the land, that were to be gathered from the several parts of it, for their security, as they thought; but the event proved it was for their ruin: even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder ; the princes and gentry, the great and the mighty, the rich and wealthy of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-5

The seething-pot. I. THE VESSEL . Jerusalem is compared to a seething-pot. The character of the city had certain points of resemblance. 1. Unity . All the parts are thrown into one vessel. There was a common life in the one city. All classes shared a common fortune. They who are united in sin will be united in doom. 2. Vain protection . The heat of the fire came through the vessel. The wails of Jerusalem did not save the doomed city. No earthly shelter will protect... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The consuming cauldron. The threatened judgment has at last descended upon the guilty city; and Ezekiel, far away in the land of the Captivity, sees in vision, and declares to his fellow-captives by a parable, the siege of Jerusalem now actually taking place. As in so many parts of his prophecies, Ezekiel reveals by symbol that which he has to communicate. Opinions differ as to whether the cauldron was actually filled with the joints of animals and was actually heated by a fire. But the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The interior mechanism of war. The prophet is commissioned to employ another homely metaphor. The patience and ingenuity of God's love are inexhaustible. The homeliest imagery is employed with a view to vivid and abiding impression. Here it is shown that behind all the machinery and circumstance of war, a hand Divine directs and overrules. A moral force resides within the material and human agency. I. THE NECESSITY FOR THE SCOURGE . The necessity arose from the excessive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The parable of the cauldron; or, the judgment upon Jerusalem. "Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me," etc. The interpretation of the chief features of this parable is not difficult. "The cauldron is Jerusalem. The flesh and the bones that are put therein are the Jews, the ordinary inhabitants of the city and the fugitives from the country. The fire is the fire of war. Water is poured into the cauldron, because in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:3-4

Set on a pot , etc. The words contain an obvious reference to the imagery of Ezekiel 11:3-7 . The people had used that imagery either in the spirit of a false security or in the recklessness of despair. It is now the prophet's work to remind them that the interpretation which he gave to their own comparison had proved to be the true one. The cauldron is the city, the fire is the invading army, the metal of the cauldron does not protect them. The pieces , the choice bones, were the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:4

The pieces thereof - Or, that belong to it; i. e., the pieces which are designed for the caldron, and belong to it as the inhabitants belong to the city. The choice pieces are the choice members of the community Ezekiel 11:3. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 24:3-5

Ezekiel 24:3-5. Utter a parable unto the rebellious house Though the house of Judah has as yet paid no due regard to what thou and the rest of the prophets have uttered or done; nevertheless, still further represent to them the destruction coming upon them by a symbolical action. Set on a pot, &c. By the pot was signified Jerusalem, (under which figure it is represented, both by this prophet, Ezekiel 11:3, and by Jeremiah, Jeremiah 1:13.) and by the pieces gathered into it, the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The cooking pot (24:1-14)On the day Babylon began its siege of Jerusalem, Ezekiel spoke another message (24:1-2; see 2 Kings 25:1). Previously the Jerusalemites had boasted that the walls of the city would protect them from the Babylonian armies as a cooking pot protects the meat within from the fire (see 11:3). Ezekiel now uses the illustration of the cooking pot in an entirely opposite sense. The people of Jerusalem (the meat in the pot) are going to be ‘cooked alive’ by the ‘fire’ of the... read more
