Ezekiel 35:7 - Exposition

Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate ; literally, desolation and a desolation ( שְׁמֲמָּה וּשְׁמָמָה ); or, as in the Revised Version, an astonishment and a desolation; changing שְׁמֲמַה into מְשַׁמָּה , for which, however, there is no sufficient warrant. And I will out off … him that passeth out (or, through ) and him that returneth . No more should traders or travelers pass through the land of Edom or go to and return from it (cf. Ezekiel 33:28 ; Zechariah 7:1-14 :15; Zechariah 9:8 , Zechariah 9:10 ).
