Ezekiel 21:8-9 - Exposition

A sword, a sword, etc. The new section ( Ezekiel 21:9-17 ) rises out of the thought of the unsheathed sword in Ezekiel 21:3 . More than most other portions of Ezekiel's writings, it assumes a distinctly lyrical character, and might be headed, "The Lay of the Sword of Jehovah." The opening words are probably an echo of Deuteronomy 32:41 . The dazzling brightness of the sword is added to its sharpness as a fresh element of terror.
