Ezekiel 35:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 35:8

And I will fill his mountains with his slain men
Not only Mount Seir, but all the rest of the mountains, in Idumea; where they shall flee for refuge, and the enemy shall pursue them, and slay them; and where their carcasses will fall in such numbers, as to cover the mountains with them; compare with this ( Revelation 19:18 Revelation 19:19 ) : in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they
fall that are slain with the sword:
expressive of the greatness and universality of the slaughter, that it should be a general one everywhere; hence rivers and fountains are said to become blood, through the number of the slain, ( Revelation 16:3 Revelation 16:4 ) .

Ezekiel 35:8 In-Context

6 propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quoniam sanguini tradam te et sanguis te persequetur et cum sanguinem oderis sanguis persequetur te
7 et dabo montem Seir desolatum et desertum et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem
8 et implebo montes eius occisorum suorum in collibus tuis et in vallibus tuis atque in torrentibus interfecti gladio cadent
9 in solitudines sempiternas tradam te et civitates tuae non habitabuntur et scietis quoniam ego Dominus
10 eo quod dixeris duae gentes et duae terrae meae erunt et hereditate possidebo eas cum Dominus esset ibi
