ezekiel-9:1-10:2

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-4

In these verses we have, I. The summons given to Jerusalem's destroyers to come forth and give their attendance. He that appeared to the prophet (Ezek. 8:2), that had brought him to Jerusalem and had shown the wickedness that was done there, he cried, Cause those that have charge over the city to draw near (Ezek. 9:1), or, as it might better be read, and nearer the original, Those that have charge over the city are drawing near. He had said (Ezek. 8:18), I will deal in fury; now, says he to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1

He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice ,.... That is, the glory of the Lord God of Israel, whom the prophet saw in the temple, and who directed him from place to place, and showed him all the abominations committed there: this loud voice of the Lord was not so much to excite the attention of the prophet, as to call together the ministers of his vengeance; and to show the greatness of his indignation, and the vehemence of his wrath, which was stirred up by the sins of the people: ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1

Cause them that have charge over the city - By those six men with destroying weapons the Chaldeans are represented, who had received commission to destroy the city; and when the north is mentioned in such cases, Chaldea and the Chaldean armies are generally intended. There appears to have been six men with a sort of slaughter-bills, and one man with an inkhorn. These may represent the seven counsellors of the eastern monarchs, who always saw the king's face, and knew all the secrets of the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1

Verse 1 Now the manner of that vengeance which was lately mentioned is expressed. Hence the Prophet says, God exclaimed, so that his command reached to the Chaldeans, who were to be executors of his vengeance, and therefore the imperative mood pleases me better, approach ye therefore. Those who consider the tense past say “visitations,” nor can they do otherwise, because no sense can be elicited from the words — to have approached the prefecture of the city. But if we read the imperative mood,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1

He cried, etc. The voice comes, as before, from the human form, seen as a theophany, in the midst of the Divine glory. Cause them that have charge over the city. The noun is an abstract plural, commonly rendered "visitation" ( Isaiah 10:3 ; Jeremiah 11:23 , and elsewhere). Here, however, it clearly stands for persons (just as we use "the watch" for "the watchmen"), and is so used in Isaiah 60:17 ; 2 Kings 11:18 (comp. Ezekiel 44:11 ). The persons addressed are called "men,"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-7

The hour of judgment. As among men there are magistrates' sessions as well as the great assizes, so also God has seasons for the local administration of justice, as well as the final judgment. In fact, God is always upon his judicial seat, always meting out justice to the various orders of his creatures. If he ceased to judge, he would cease to rule. I. MARK THE SUPREMACY OF GOD 'S JUDICIAL VOICE . The last chapter finished with the declaration, "Though they cry in mine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-7

Divine discrimination in the execution of judgment. "He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near," etc. In the preceding chapter the various forms of idolatry which were practised in Jerusalem, and by which the Lord Jehovah was provoked, were set forth; and now Ezekiel beholds in vision the treatment which God was about to deal out to the people by reason of their provocations. We observe— I. THAT THE AGENTS OF ... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 9:1-2

Ezekiel 9:1-2. He cried also in mine ears Namely, the man whom he had seen upon the throne; with a loud voice This denoted the terribleness of the judgments which were going to be inflicted. Cause them that have charge, &c. That is, says Lowth, “the angels who had the charge of executing God’s judgments upon the city.” Or it may be intended of the Chaldean army, or of its principal leaders, who had a charge or commission against Jerusalem, to avenge the divine justice of it, because... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Execution of the sinners (9:1-11)God’s punishment of Jerusalem was illustrated by a vision in which God sent his executioners to carry out his work of judgment on the sinful people. First, however, he sent a special servant to put a mark on those who opposed the city’s wickedness, so that they might be preserved through the coming bloodshed (9:1-4). The first place where the judgment fell was the temple, where the nation’s leaders had led the people astray with their wickedness and idolatry.... read more
