The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 20:9

Ezekiel 20:9I wrought for My name’s sake.The glory of God, His principle of actionIt is an admitted axiom of all enlightened legislation, that with man as a moral agent human lawmakers have nothing to do; that they must overlook many considerations of natural infirmity and educational bias, to which due weight will nevertheless be given in the merciful estimate of Heaven, confining their attention solely to what will most uphold the majesty of the law, and thus secure “the greatest good of the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 20:12

Ezekiel 20:12I gave them My Sabbaths. The practical duties of the Christian SabbathLet two remarks be premised. We enforce not the duties of the Jewish but of the Christian Sabbath. Everything in the Christian Sabbath is tender and considerate on the one hand, everything is spiritual and elevated on the other; and is, in both views, adapted to the real state and exigencies of our nature, under the last and most perfect dispensation of religion. But then the determination of what is really... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 20:3

Eze 20:3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. Ver. 3. Are ye come to inquire of me? ] q.d., I scorn the motion, I loathe your false looks, be packing with your putrid hypocrisy. God will detect and shame gross hypocrites, as he did Jeroboam’s wife, the rotten hearted Pharisees, Ananias and Sapphira, that sorry couple, that consented to "tempt... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 20:4

Eze 20:4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge [them]? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers: Ver. 4. Wilt thou judge them? ] Or, Wilt thou excuse them? or, Wilt thou intercede for them? If thou hast never so good a mind to do so, yet do it not; rather reprove them for, and convince them of, their sins; spare thy charity, and exercise thine authority of "having in readiness to revenge their disobedience." 2Co 10:6 An causam ageres eorum? Abigendi sunt potius quam... read more

Eze 20:6 In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands: Ver. 6. Into a land that I had espied for them. ] Humanitus dictum. Finding it out, as it were, by diligent search.

Eze 20:7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God. Ver. 7. Then said I unto them, ] viz., While yet in Egypt. This we find not in Exodus; it is enough that we find it here. See Job 5:9 .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 20:8

Eze 20:8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. Ver. 8. But they rebelled against me. ] I might say what I would, but they would do what they list. Good they were ever, if I may call it so, at resisting the Holy Ghost, obstinate idolaters from the... read more

Ver. 9. But I wrought for my name’s sake.] Lest the heathens should say to my dishonour, Me non voluisse aut valuisse eos educere, that I either would not, or could not, bring them out of the house of bondage.
