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 Toma una oveja escogida; y también enciende los huesos debajo de ella; haz que hierva bien; cuece también sus huesos dentro de ella.
6 Pues así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ay de la ciudad de sangre, de la olla no espumada, y cuya espuma no salió de ella! Por sus piezas, por sus piezas sácala; no caiga sobre ella suerte (de herencia ).
7 Porque su sangre fue en medio de ella; sobre la cima de la piedra la puso; no la derramó sobre la tierra para que fuese cubierta con polvo.
8 Para hacer subir la ira para hacer venganza, yo puse su sangre sobre el lugar alto de la piedra, para que no sea cubierta.
9 Por tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ay de la ciudad de sangre! Pues también haré yo gran hoguera,
