Ezequiel 24:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:7

For her blood is in the midst of her
The blood of innocent persons shed in the midst of her, openly and publicly, cried for vengeance: she set it upon the top of a rock;
where it could not soak in, as when spilled upon soft earth: this denotes her openness and impudence in shedding blood, as not being ashamed of it, or afraid of punishment for it, but as rather glorying in it; perhaps there may be some allusion to the tops of hills and mountains, where idolatry was committed, attended with shedding human blood: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
she did not take any methods to hide her sin; having no sense of the heinousness of it, nor any consciousness of guilt, or any remorse or repentance; respect is had to a law which obliged to cover blood shed with dust, ( Leviticus 17:13 ) . The Targum of the whole is,

``because innocent blood which is shed in the midst of her; with pride and with a high arm she shed it; she shed it not through ignorance, that she might repent of it.''

Ezequiel 24:7 In-Context

5 apanhe o melhor do rebanho.Empilhe lenha debaixo dela para cozinhar os ossos;faça-a ferver a água e cozinhe tudoo que está na panela.
6 “Porque assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR:“Ai da cidade sanguinária,da panela que agora tem uma crosta,cujo resíduo não desaparecerá!Esvazie-a, tirando pedaço por pedaço,sem sorteá-los.
7 “Pois o sangue que ela derramou está no meio dela;ela o derramou na rocha nua;não o derramou no chão,onde o pó o cobriria.
8 Para atiçar a minha ira e me vingar,pus o sangue dela sobre a rocha nua,para que ele não fosse coberto.
9 “Portanto, assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR:“Ai da cidade sanguinária!Eu também farei uma pilha de lenha, uma pilha bem alta.
