The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Bible. Ezekiel -- Commentaries
The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah
and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations; That they
have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their
idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons,
whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour
them. Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my
sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. For when
they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the
same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they
done in the midst of mine house. And furthermore, that ye have sent
for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo,
they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and
deckedst thyself with ornaments, And satest upon a stately bed, and
a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and
mine oil. And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and
with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the
wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful
crowns upon their heads. Then said I unto her that was old in
adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with
them? Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that
playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah,
the lewd women.
And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of
adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because
they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. For thus saith
the Lord God; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give
them to be removed and spoiled. And the company shall stone them
with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay
their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women
may be taught not to do after your lewdness. And they shall
recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of
your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord God (verses 36-49).
