Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:42-43

“And you will know that I am Yahweh, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up my hand (swore) to give to your fathers, and there you will remember your ways, and all your doings in which you have polluted yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.” The vision was for the future, but here God promises to these enquiring exiles (he was more merciful than He had said He would be, see Ezekiel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:44

‘ “And you will know that I am Yahweh when I have wrought with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, Oh you house of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ Note the repetition of ‘you will know that I am Yahweh’. Compare Ezekiel 20:5; Ezekiel 20:7; Ezekiel 20:12; Ezekiel 20:19; Ezekiel 20:26; Ezekiel 20:38; Ezekiel 20:42. God had been revealed as He is in His mighty deeds in past days, and He will be revealed so again. All that He had done and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:45-46

‘And the word of Yahweh came to me saying, “Son of man, set your face towards the south (temana), and drop your word towards the south (darom), and prophesy against the forest of the country in the Negeb.” ’ There is an emphasis on the ‘south’ in the Hebrew brought out by the use of different Hebrew words (the Negeb also indicated south of the hills of Judah), and we can see Ezekiel turning towards the south from Babylon in the sight of his listeners. Today the Negeb is waterless desert except... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:45-49

Chapters Ezekiel 20:45 to Ezekiel 21:32 . The Certain Judgment of Yahweh. In the Hebrew Bible Ezekiel 20:45 is the commencement of chapter 21, and the passage fits better with what follows. The picture moves from the overall view of history and the future to God’s certain judgments now to come on Israel. These verses consist of a number of oracles, probably occurring over a period of time. They are connected by the theme of God’s sword of judgment. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:47-48

“And say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of Yahweh. Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold I will kindle a fire in you and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The flaming flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it. And all flesh will see that it is I Yahweh who have kindled it. It will not be quenched.” The fire would begin in the southern forest in the Negeb and would spread northward, devouring all in its path. For... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:49

‘Then said I, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, they say of me, is he not one who tells stories (or ‘a riddler of riddles’)?” ’ Here we have a very human touch. In spite of being the mouthpiece of Yahweh Ezekiel is still conscious of what his listeners feel about him. He is disconcerted once again to have to speak to them in parables, for they have clearly begun to criticise him for it and to accuse him of being ‘the riddler of riddles’ (memashel meshalim). read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:1-32

Ezekiel 20. The Wicked Past and the Blessed Future. Ezekiel 20:1-Jonah : . A Sketch of Israel’ s Early Idolatries.— It is now 590 B.C. Almost a year has elapsed since the last incident that was dated ( Ezekiel 8:1): and as the doom draws nearer, the prophet grows fiercer. This lurid sketch of Israel’ s ancient sins, which partly recalls ch. 16, was occasioned by a visit of some elders ( cf. Ezekiel 8:1, Ezekiel 14:1), who put to him a question which though not recorded, may perhaps be... read more

Ezekiel 20:33-Acts : . The Restoration of the Future.— But after all, Yahweh has chosen Israel ( Ezekiel 20:5) for a purpose, and that purpose must not be frustrated; and despite the sin and darkness of the present, Ezekiel looks hopefully out to the future. But first there must be a sifting. Israel is to be gathered into the wilderness between Babylon and Canaan ( Ezekiel 20:35) and passed under the rod as the shepherd passes the sheep; there the rebels shall be left, but the good shall be... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:45-49

Ezekiel 20:45 to Ezekiel 21:32 . The Terrible Sword of Nebuchadrezzar.— Here again, as shortly before (chs. 18f.), a piece of theological oratory is followed by a poem— this time a wild irregular dithyramb (esp. Ezekiel 21:8-Esther :), the text of which is, unhappily, corrupt in places to the point of desperation. But perhaps its very perplexities reflect the tumult of the prophet’ s soul. The nearer the doom approaches, the more vividly does he conceive it. Ezekiel 20:5-Ephesians : . He... read more

The whole 24th verse is already explained Ezekiel 4:16, which see. They, that travelled through the wilderness, had not executed my judgments, in all that forty years, wherein their fathers were to be wasted, and by which their children should have learned, kept, and done God’s judgments, but did them not. Their fathers’ idols; which their fathers chose in Egypt, and retained with them, and now their children serve the same, even the Egyptian idols. read more
