Ezequiel 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:1

Then came certain, of the elders of Israel unto me
The Syriac version adds, "to consult the Lord"; by the prophet. These, according to Kimchi, were the elders of the captivity, the heads of the captives that were now in Babylon with Ezekiel: but there are others that think they were some that came from Jerusalem to Babylon on some business or another; and having heard much of the prophet, came to visit him, and to hear his prophecies, and inquire of the Lord by him: and sat before me;
silent and pensive, as persons in anxiety and distress; or as hearers of him, for sitting is a hearing gesture; they sat and heard with great attention, gravity, and seriousness, with seeming affection and reverence; and all this was not in a visionary way, but was a real fact; see ( Ezekiel 33:31 Ezekiel 33:32 ) .

Ezequiel 14:1 In-Context

1 Algumas das autoridades de Israel vieram e se sentaram diante de mim.

2 Então o SENHOR me falou:

3 “Filho do homem, estes homens ergueram ídolos em seus corações e puseram tropeços ímpios diante de si. Devo deixar que me consultem?

4 Ora, diga-lhes: Assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Quando qualquer israelita erguer ídolos em seu coração e puser um tropeço ímpio diante do seu rosto e depois for consultar um profeta, eu o SENHOR, eu mesmo, responderei a ele conforme a sua idolatria.

5 Isto farei para reconquistar o coração da nação de Israel, que me abandonou em troca de seus ídolos.
