Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 39:24
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
24. have I done unto them ] did I do unto them.
Eze 39:25 seq. The prophet returns to the point of view occupied in ch. 33 37, before the restoration of Israel. The transition is suggested by the words I hid my face from them ( Eze 39:24). This shall no more be ( Eze 39:29); they shall be restored, and dwell safely in their land ( Eze 39:26), and Jehovah shall be their God in truth.

Whatever severity I have seemed to use, it was but according to their sins, yet less than their sins, in punishing and hiding my face from them.

According to their uncleanness,…. Not ceremonial, but moral; they were an impure and adulterous generation, as our Lord calls them, Mt 12:39:
and according to their transgressions have I done unto them; or “rebellions”, as the Targum renders it; or defections, as the word k signifies; their rebellions against the King Messiah; their defections from him; their contempt of him, and rejection of his yoke, and non-submission to his ordinances; according to the desert of such crimes, the Lord dealt with them;
“took vengeance on them,”
as the Targum is; in the destruction of their nation, city, and temple: “and hid my face from them”; or caused his Shechaniah to remove from them, as the same paraphrase; [See comments on Eze 39:23].
