Ezekiel 35:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 35:8

And I will fill his mountains with his slain men
Not only Mount Seir, but all the rest of the mountains, in Idumea; where they shall flee for refuge, and the enemy shall pursue them, and slay them; and where their carcasses will fall in such numbers, as to cover the mountains with them; compare with this ( Revelation 19:18 Revelation 19:19 ) : in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they
fall that are slain with the sword:
expressive of the greatness and universality of the slaughter, that it should be a general one everywhere; hence rivers and fountains are said to become blood, through the number of the slain, ( Revelation 16:3 Revelation 16:4 ) .

Ezekiel 35:8 In-Context

6 Therefore {as I live}," {declares} the Lord Yahweh, "Certainly to blood [guilt] I will prepare you and blood will pursue; {since} {you did not hate blood}, it will pursue you.

7 And I will make the mountain of Seir into [a] desolation and ruin, and I will cut off from it [both] [he who is] crossing over and [he who is] returning.

8 And I will fill its mountains [with] its slain; your hills and your valleys and all of your watercourses, the slain by [the] sword will fall in them.

9 {An everlasting desolation} I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

10 [I do this] because of your saying, 'The two nations and the two lands, they will be {mine}, and we will take possession of it,' and [yet] Yahweh was there.
