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 I will scatter the corpses of the people of Israel; I will scatter their bones all around the altars.

6 All the cities of Israel will be destroyed, so that all their altars and their idols will be smashed to pieces, their incense altars will be shattered, and everything they made will disappear.

7 People will be killed everywhere, and those who survive will acknowledge that I am the Lord.

8 "I will let some escape the slaughter and be scattered among the nations,

9 where they will live in exile. There they will remember me and know that I have punished them and disgraced them, because their faithless hearts deserted me and they preferred idols to me. And they will be disgusted with themselves because of the evil and degrading things they have done.
