Ezekiel 6:7

7 et cadet interfectus in medio vestri et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

Ezekiel 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:7

And the slain shall fall in the midst of you
The word for slain is in the singular number, which perhaps is put for the plural; and so the Septuagint renders it; unless it should design some principal person that should be slain; but, as King Zedekiah was not slain when the city was taken, only his sons and his princes, it seems best to understand it of the multitude that were slain in the midst of the land, not only in Jerusalem, but in all the cities of Judea; and denotes how general and public the destruction would be: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord;
the only true God, and Governor of the world; who only is to be worshipped, feared, and served, and not idols.

Ezekiel 6:7 In-Context

5 et dabo cadavera filiorum Israhel ante faciem simulacrorum vestrorum et dispergam ossa vestra circum aras vestras

6 in omnibus habitationibus vestris urbes desertae erunt et excelsa demolientur et dissipabuntur et interibunt arae vestrae et confringentur et cessabunt idola vestra et conterentur delubra vestra et delebuntur opera vestra

7 et cadet interfectus in medio vestri et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

8 et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

9 et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in gentibus ad quas captivi ducti sunt quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans et recedens a me et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua et displicebunt sibimet super malis quae fecerunt in universis abominationibus suis
