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 Unos jefes de Israel vinieron a visitarme, y se sentaron frente a mí.

2 Entonces el SEÑOR me dirigió la palabra:

3 «Hijo de hombre, estas personas han hecho de su corazón un altar de ídolos, y a su paso han colocado trampas que los hacen pecar. ¿Cómo voy a permitir que me consulten?

4 Por tanto, habla con ellos y adviérteles que así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: “A todo israelita que haya hecho de su corazón un altar de ídolos, y que después de haber colocado a su paso trampas que lo hagan pecar consulte al profeta, yo el SEÑOR le responderé según la multitud de sus ídolos.

5 Así cautivaré el corazón de los israelitas que por causa de todos esos ídolos se hayan alejado de mí”.
