Ezequiel 6:13

13 E saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando o seu povo estiver estirado, morto entre os seus ídolos, ao redor dos seus altares, em todo monte alto e em todo topo de montanha, debaixo de toda árvore frondosa e de todo carvalho viçoso—em todos os lugares nos quais eles ofereciam incenso aromático a todos os seus ídolos.

Ezequiel 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:13

Then shall ye know that I [am] the Lord
Whom they had denied, by serving other gods; but now by those punishments their eyes would be opened to see, and be obliged to acknowledge, that there was no God but the Lord: when their slain [men] shall be among their idols round about their
altars;
as is threatened, ( Ezekiel 6:5 ) ; by which it will appear that the idols whom they worshipped could not save them; since they should fall just by them, round about the altars on which they sacrificed unto them; which idols were placed, and altars for their worship built, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains:
mountains and high hills were usual places of idolatry among the Heathens, in which the Jews imitated them, and particularly Herodotus ^F5 says of the Persians, that, going up to the highest parts of mountains, they offered sacrifice to Jupiter; so they called the whole circle of the heavens: and under every green tree, and under every thick oak;
see ( 1 Kings 14:23 ) ( 2 Kings 16:4 ) ( Jeremiah 2:20 ) ( 3:6 ) ; here their slain were to fall, where they committed their idolatry: even in the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols;
or dunghill gods; yet, though they were such, sweet savour or incense was offered to them; wherefore, in righteous judgment, here their carcasses should fill and lie, and rot and stink.

Ezequiel 6:13 In-Context

11 “Assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Esfregue as mãos, bata os pés e grite ‘Ai!’, por causa de todas as práticas ímpias e repugnantes da nação de Israel, pois eles morrerão pela espada, pela fome e pela peste.

12 Quem está longe morrerá pela peste, quem está perto cairá pela espada, e quem sobreviver e for poupado morrerá de fome. Assim enviarei a minha ira sobre eles.

13 E saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando o seu povo estiver estirado, morto entre os seus ídolos, ao redor dos seus altares, em todo monte alto e em todo topo de montanha, debaixo de toda árvore frondosa e de todo carvalho viçoso—em todos os lugares nos quais eles ofereciam incenso aromático a todos os seus ídolos.

14 Estenderei o meu braço contra eles e tornarei a terra uma imensidão desolada, desde o deserto até Dibla—onde quer que estiverem vivendo. Então saberão que eu sou o SENHOR”.
