Ezequiel 6:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:3

And say, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God,
&c.] Since the people of the Jews would not hear the word of the Lord, the mountains are called upon to hear it; unless the inhabitants of the mountains are meant: thus saith the Lord God to the mountains and to the hills, to the
rivers and to the valleys:
these are addressed, because idols were worshipped here; as upon the mountains and hills, so by rivers of water, and also in valleys, as in the valley of Hinnom idols were worshipped; upon mountains and hills, because they thought themselves nearer to heaven; by rivers, because of purity; and in valleys, because shady and obscure, and had something solemn and venerable in them: behold I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon you;
that is, upon the idolaters, which worshipped in these places; otherwise different instruments, as pick axes would have been more proper. The Targum paraphrases it,

``them that kill with the sword;''

meaning the Chaldeans, who doubtless are intended: and I will destroy your high places;
the temples and altars, built on high places, and devoted to idolatrous worship, as follows:

Ezequiel 6:3 In-Context

1 El SEÑOR me dirigió la palabra:

2 «Hijo de hombre, alza tu mirada hacia los cerros de Israel, y profetiza contra ellos.

3 Diles: “Escuchen, cerros de Israel, la palabra del SEÑOR. Esto dice el SEÑOR omnipotente a cerros y colinas, a ríos y valles: ‘Haré que venga contra ustedes la espada, y destruiré sus lugares de culto idolátrico.

4 Despedazaré sus altares, haré añicos sus quemadores de incienso, y haré también que sus muertos caigan frente a sus ídolos.

5 En efecto, delante de sus ídolos arrojaré los cadáveres de los israelitas, y esparciré sus huesos en torno a sus altares.
