Ezechiël 5:1-3

Listen to Ezechiël 5:1-3
1 En gij, mensenkind, neem u een scherp mes, een scheermes der barbieren zult gij u nemen, hetwelk gij zult laten gaan over uw hoofd en over uw baard; daarna zult gij u een weegschaal nemen, en die haren delen.
2 Een derde deel zult gij in het midden der stad met vuur verbranden, nadat de dagen der belegering vervuld worden; dan zult gij een derde deel nemen, slaande met een zwaard rondom hetzelve, en een derde deel zult gij in den wind strooien; want Ik zal het zwaard achter hen uittrekken.
3 Gij zult ook weinige in getal daarvan nemen, en in uw slippen binden.

Ezechiël 5:1-3 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 5

This chapter is of the same argument with the former; and contains a type of Jerusalem's destruction; an explanation of that type; what were the reasons of God's judgments on that city; and the nature, rise, and end of them. The type is in Eze 5:1-4; the explanation of that type is in Eze 5:5; the reasons of the severe judgments threatened are changing the statutes of the Lord, and not walking in them, and defiling the sanctuary with their abominations, Eze 5:6-11; an account of the judgments of God, answerable to each of the parts in the type, Eze 5:12; the ends of these judgments are, with respect to God, the accomplishment of his anger, and the satisfaction of his justice; with respect to the Jews, bringing them to an acknowledgment that he had spoken in his zeal; and, with respect to the nations, their instruction and astonishment, Eze 5:13-15; and the chapter is concluded with an assurance that these judgments would be sent, Eze 5:16,17.
