Ezechiele 33:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:2

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people
The Jews, of whom the prophet was; and designs those who were with him in the captivity; and who, having behaved so ill, the Lord will not own them for his people, but calls them the prophet's people, and the children of them: and say unto them, when I bring the sword upon a land;
a foreign enemy with an army to invade it, or any other judgment; for there is no public calamity whatever that comes upon a people, but what is by the order, direction, or permission of the Lord. The Targum is,

``those that kill with the sword;''
an army of men that enter into a land sword in hand, with an intent to conquer and destroy: if the people of the land take a man of their coasts: that lives upon their borders, and so is acquainted with all the places where it is most likely an enemy should enter; or a man out of the midst of them, as the Targum; so this phrase sometimes signifies, ( Genesis 47:2 ) , one of their own people, who might be thought to have their good and safety at heart, and might be trusted: and set him for their watchman:
on some place of eminence; on the walls, or in a tower of a frontier town, from whence he might descry the enemy coming at a distance.

Ezechiele 33:2 In-Context

1 E la parola dell’Eterno mi fu rivolta in questi termini:
2 "Figliuol d’uomo, parla ai figliuoli del tuo popolo, e di’ loro: Quando io farò venire la spada contro un paese, e il popolo di quel paese prenderà nel proprio seno un uomo e se lo stabilirà come sentinella,
3 ed egli, vedendo venire la spada contro il paese, sonerĂ  il corno e avvertirĂ  il popolo,
4 se qualcuno, pur udendo il suono del corno, non se ne cura, e la spada viene e lo porta via, il sangue di quel tale sarĂ  sopra il suo capo;
5 egli ha udito il suono del corno, e non se n’è curato; il suo sangue sarà sopra lui; se se ne fosse curato, avrebbe scampato la sua vita.
