Yechezkel 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:8

Ye have feared the sword
Of the Chaldeans; and therefore they sent to the Egyptians for help. The Targum is,

``ye have been afraid of them that kill with the sword;''

and not afraid of the Lord; see ( Matthew 10:28 ) ; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God;
or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; meaning the Chaldeans, who were sent by the Lord, and, when they took the city, put many to death by the sword, and carried captive others.

Yechezkel 11:8 In-Context

6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this ir, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

7 Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Your slain whom ye have placed in the midst of it, they are the basar, and this ir is the caldron; but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

8 Ye have feared the cherev; and I will bring a cherev upon you, saith Adonoi Hashem.

9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the yad of zarim, and will execute shefatim (judgments) among you.

10 Ye shall fall by the cherev; I will judge you at the border of Yisroel; and ye shall know that I am Hashem.
