Ezechiël 21:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying.
] Upon theEzekiel 21:2

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem
Which shows that this city was meant by "the south", ( Ezekiel 20:46 ) : and drop thy word toward the holy places;
which also are meant by the south in the passage referred to, even the holy land, holy city, and holy temple; or the temple itself is only meant, with the courts adjoining to it; or as consisting of three parts, as Kimchi, the porch, the temple, and the oracle; or the outward court, the holy place, and the holy of holies; and it may respect all other places for sacred worship, as their synagogues, both in city and country; which were not to be spared any more than the temple, nor were they, ( Psalms 74:7 Psalms 74:8 ) . Jarchi thinks that the destruction both of the first and second temple is here intended; and which sense Kimchi also mentions. And prophesy against the land of Israel:
by which it appears that this is intended by the "forest of the south field": even the numerous inhabitants of it in general, as well as the city of Jerusalem, ( Ezekiel 20:46 ) .

Ezechiël 21:1 In-Context

1 En des HEEREN woord geschiedde tot mij, zeggende:
2 Mensenkind! zet uw aangezicht tegen Jeruzalem, en drup tegen de heiligdommen, en profeteer tegen het land van Israel;
3 En zeg tot het land van Israel: Alzo zegt de HEERE: Ziet, Ik wil aan u, en Ik zal Mijn zwaard uit zijn schede trekken; en Ik zal van u uitroeien den rechtvaardige en den goddeloze.
4 Omdat Ik dan van u uitroeien zal den rechtvaardige en den goddeloze, daarom zal Mijn zwaard uit zijn schede uitgaan tegen alle vlees, van het zuiden tot het noorden.
5 En alle vlees zal weten, dat Ik, de HEERE, Mijn zwaard uit zijn schede getrokken heb; het zal niet meer wederkeren.
