Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

The prophet had been ordered to set his face towards the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them, Ezek. 6:2. Then God was coming forth to contend with his people; but now that God is returning in mercy to them he must speak good words and comfortable words to these mountains, Ezek. 36:1, 4. You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; and what he says to them he says to the hills, to the rivers, to the valleys, to the desolate wastes in the country, and to the cities that are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:13

Thus saith the Lord God, because they say unto you ,.... The Heathens that dwelt round about the land of Judea said to the mountains, or to the whole land, thou land devourest up men ; eats up the inhabitants of it; which is part of the ill report the spies, in the times of Moses, brought on it, Numbers 13:32 , to which the allusion is here; suggesting, that either the air was unwholesome; or that the land did not produce a sufficiency of food to support the inhabitants of it; or that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

The material creation sharing in the fortunes of men. Man has a many-sided nature. He is linked with the past history of angels and with the past history of the entire universe. His interests and fortunes are interwoven with the material creation and with the dynamic forces of nature. He has an interest in heaven and in hell. The intelligences of the universe are interested in him, and he is interested in them. I. THE LAND OF CANAAN IS HONORED BY A DIVINE COMMUNICATION... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

Encouragement in exile. Israel was in a very deplorable condition. It was away from its native land, in the power and in the service of the enemy; its own "inheritance" was peopled by a poor and weak remnant; it was the prey and the butt of the merciless mocker; its fortunes were low, its heart was sad indeed; it could not sing the Lord's song in such a strange land as that in which it was exiled. But after words of condemnation comes the language of hope. The prophet of God is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

The present chapter is entirely devoted to the consolation of Israel, though its parts are derived from two separate "words" of Jehovah. Ezekiel 36:1-15 belong to the "word" which opened with the first verse of the preceding chapter; Ezekiel 36:16 begins another "word," which only closes at Ezekiel 37:14 . The subject of the first part is the comfort offered to Israel in the destruction threatened against the heathen, and in the blessings promised to her land and people. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 36:13

The judgments which God sent upon the land, had so destroyed the inhabitants that men deemed it a fatal land, which brought destruction to all that should occupy it (compare 2 Kings 17:25). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 36:13-15

Ezekiel 36:13-15. Because they say, Thou land devourest men Or, thy people. The country of Judea (as appears from what is here said) was spoken of by the neighbouring nations with disgrace, as a country particularly fatal to its inhabitants, where more died by famine, pestilence, and the sword, than in any other place: and therefore God here says, that there should be no more any occasion to give this character of Judea, for that these judgments and frequent calamities should cease in it.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

Restoration assured (36:1-15)With the removal of the people of Israel from their ancient homeland (both northern and southern kingdoms) certain neighbouring nations took the opportunity to seize Israel’s former territory for themselves (36:1-2). God comforts his people with the reminder that the land rightly belongs to him, and he will not tolerate the contempt of these enemies (3-5). He will now deal justly with those who despised his people (6-7).Having dealt with his enemies, God will bring... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 36:13

13. Thou land devourest up men—alluding to the words of the spies ( :-). The land personified is represented as doing that which was done in it. Like an unnatural mother it devoured, that is, it was the grave of its people; of the Canaanites, its former possessors, through mutual wars, and finally by the sword of Israel; and now, of the Jews, through internal and external ills; for example, wars, famine (to which Ezekiel 36:30, "reproach of famine among the heathen," implies the allusion here... read more
