40<\/strong>. a company against thee<\/em> ] A congregation or public assembly of the people, at which the adulteress shall be tried and then executed; Lev 20:2<\/span>; Deu 22:21<\/span> (cf. 1Ki 21:9-15<\/span>), Pro 5:8-14<\/span>, I was almost in all evil (danger of death) in the midst of the congregation and assembly. The death of the adulteress was by stoning; Lev 20:10<\/span>; Deu 22:22<\/span>; Joh 8:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n They; <\/B>the king of Babylon, and his counsellors, and captains. <\/P> A company; <\/B>an assembled army. You had your assemblies for your idol worship, and I will have also an assembly, but it shall be of Chaldeans, Hab 1:6<\/span>, and others, to destroy you for your idolatry. <\/P> They shall stone thee:<\/B> the punishment by stoning was not inflicted on the condemned, but in the sight of the congregation; so here is a congregation of many nations, before whom this just judgment of God shall be executed on this adulteress. It intimates the manner of battering of the walls of Jerusalem, with stones cast out of their engines. <\/P> Thrust thee through with their swords; <\/B>when the enemy shall assault and take the battered city, he will in his fury slay and destroy with the sword. It is called <\/P> their sword, <\/B>because it might mind the Israelites that the destruction would be with the sword of a cruel one, of either an old professed enemy, or a new revolted friend. <\/P> <\/p>\n 40.<\/B> (Eze 23:10<\/span>;Eze 23:47<\/span>). Compare as to thedestruction under Titus, Luk 19:43<\/span>;Luk 19:44<\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n They shall also bring up a company against thee<\/strong>,…. An army, so the Targum; the Chaldean army:<\/p>\n and they shall stone thee with stones<\/strong>: cast out of their engines and slings, by which they battered the walls, as well as killed the inhabitants; and so the Targum renders it, with sling stones; the allusion is to the stoning of adulterous persons, De 22:24<\/span>;<\/p>\n and thrust thee through with their swords<\/strong>; such as attempted to escape out of the city, or fell into the hands of the enemy when it was taken, were slain with the sword.<\/p>\n Since what Ezekiel has hitherto brought forward was incredible, he now explains the manner of its accomplishment — that the Chaldmans and Assyrians should bring a large army and bury the whole of Judea with stones, and pierce it through with swords. By these figures he simply means that there should be such slaughter that the whole region should be made desolate, just as if the enemy should slay all that they met with stones and swords. Some think that he alludes to stones which were thrown by engines of war; but I doubt whether the Prophet thought of this. What I have stated is more simple, that the Jews had no cause to think themselves free from that final slaughter of which the Prophet spoke, since numerous and powerful armies should come and overwhelm them with stones, and pierce them through with swords. It follows — <\/p>\n 40<\/strong>. <\/strong> Stone thee <\/strong> Stoning was the penalty for adultery under the Jewish law (Lev 20:10<\/span>; Deu 22:22<\/span>).<\/p>\n Eze 16:40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.<\/p>\n Ver. 40. They shall also bring up a company against thee.<\/strong> ] The Chaldeans, that “hasty and bitter nation.” Hab 1:6 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And they shall stone thee.<\/strong> ] See on Eze 16:35<\/span> .<\/p>\n a company = a military host. <\/p>\n shall also: Hab 1:6-10, Joh 8:5-7 <\/p>\n and thrust: Eze 23:10, Eze 23:47, Eze 24:21, Jer 25:9 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Eze 16:38 – as women Eze 23:46 – I will<\/p>\n Eze 16:40. This verse is a direct and literal reference to the siege and destruction of Jerusalem that was soon to be made by the Babylonians,<\/p>\n Eze 16:40-43. They shall bring a company against thee A company shall come against thee, and beat down thy walls and houses, with stones slung out of battering-engines: see Jer 33:4. The expression alludes, as in Eze 16:38, to the punishment inflicted upon adulteresses, which was stoning. And they shall burn thy houses, &c. The punishment allotted to an idolatrous city, Deu 13:16. The word may likewise allude to the punishment of burning, anciently inflicted upon harlots: see Gen 38:24. And execute judgment upon thee in the sight of many women Nations that shall triumph over thee; such as the Syrians, Philistines, &c. The judgment which I shall execute upon thee shall be for an instruction to other nations, deterring them from following thine evil practices. It is said, in the sight of women, because Jerusalem is spoken of and represented as a woman. So will I make my fury, &c., to rest I will fully satisfy my just anger, in inflicting these severe punishments upon thee. I also will recompense thy way upon thy head Thou hast despised me, I also will despise thee; thou hast forsaken me, I also will forsake thee. Thou shalt not commit this lewdness, &c. Thou shalt not add these manifold and shameless practices of idolatry to all thy other wickedness. The clause however may be rendered, Neither hast thou laid to heart all these thine abominations.<\/p>\n They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 40. a company against thee ] A congregation or public assembly of the people, at which the adulteress shall be tried and then executed; Lev 20:2; Deu 22:21 (cf. 1Ki 21:9-15), Pro … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 16:40”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20813\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
