45<\/strong>. that lotheth her husband<\/em> ] In the sense of the allegory “lothing her husband” should mean changing her god for another; and in the case of Jerusalem and Samaria the charge is intelligible, Jehovah being the husband (ch. 23). But such a charge could hardly be made against the Canaanites, the Hittite mother and Sodom (Jer 2:11<\/span>). The prophet appears to desert the allegory, introducing real features into his description, and referring to actual adultery and unfaithfulness, which were characteristic of the Canaanite nations. Another interpretation, as old as Theodoret, considers Jehovah to be the “husband” even of the Hittite mother, heathen idolatries being infidelity to the true God. Such a reflexion is not natural to a prophet of this age, though a similar idea occurred to St Paul (Romans 1<\/span>). At the same time this prophet predicts the restoration of Sodom and its union to the people of the Lord. Cornill, considering the difficulties of interpretation as insuperable, strikes out the words as a gloss.<\/p>\n sister of thy sisters<\/em> ] The sisters of Jerusalem were Samaria and Sodom, and she had a genuine family likeness to them.<\/p>\n your mother<\/em> ] Your<\/em> (plur.) refers to the three sisters.<\/p>\n Thou, the nation of the Jews, <\/P> art thy mothers daughter; <\/B>as much for her vicious inclinations, as for thy original derived from her, the most wicked daughter of as wicked a mother. <\/P> That loatheth; <\/B>that was weary of the best Husband, that while she doted on abominable adulterers, did most contemptuously disregard her Husband, and forsake him. Other lewd women have had some love for their children, because born of them, bred by them, and resembling them; so much of the mother was in the children, that some adulteresses have loved themselves in the children; but here is a loose woman, an unnatural beast, that loathes her own flesh, persecuting such as are constant to the law of God their Father, and murdering others in sacrifice to devils. <\/P> The sister of thy sisters:<\/B> it runs in the blood; as the mother, so the sisters, loved and doted on strange flesh, were as inordinate in their affections to others, as they were in their disaffection to their own husbands and children. <\/P> Your mother:<\/B> see Eze 16:3<\/span>.

Moab and Ammon, the incestuous children of Lot, nephew ofAbraham, Israel’s progenitor, had their origin from Sodom; so Sodommight be called Judah’s sister. Samaria, answering to the ten tribesof Israel, is, of course, sister to Judah.<\/P><\/p>\n Thou [art] thy mother’s daughter<\/strong>,…. Exactly like her; they that have known the one must know the other. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “wherefore art thou become the daughter of the land of Canaan, to do according to the works of the people?”<\/p>\n that loatheth her husband and her children<\/strong>; a true character of an adulteress; and which agrees both with the mother the Canaanites, and with the daughter the Jews; who both despised, rejected, and forsook God their husband, Creator, and lawgiver, and sacrificed their children to idols; see Eze 16:20<\/span>;<\/p>\n and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters<\/strong>; the true genuine sister of them, Samaria and Sodom after mentioned; being not only allied to them in blood, more nearly to the one more remotely to the other, but exceedingly alike in manners, religion, and worship:<\/p>\n which loatheth their husbands and their children<\/strong>; as before:<\/p>\n your mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an Amorite<\/strong>; these the Israelites succeeded in their land, and followed their customs;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 16:3]<\/span>. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “was not your mother Sarah among the Hittites? and she did not do according to their works; and your father Abraham was among the Amorites, and he walked not in their counsels.”<\/p>\n (45) Which lothed their husbands.<\/strong>Israel, like Samaria and Sodom, being spiritually of Amorite and Hittite descent, they are represented as her sisters. A certain difficulty arises from the statement that they, too, lothed their husbands and their children, and this is only removed by remembering that, notwithstanding their heathenism and long course of idolatry, they are still regarded as having gone astray from primeval revelation, and proved false to the only true God whom they once had known.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Eze 16:45 Thou [art] thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 45.

If Idolatrous nations were compared to immoral women, they would all be related to Judah who was in that class, hence sisters means the various heathen peo-ple around her.<\/p>\n 16:45 Thou [art] thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy {y} sisters, who lothed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.<\/p>\n (y) That is, of Samaria and Sodom.<\/p>\n Thou [art] thy mother’s daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. 45. that lotheth her husband ] In the sense of the allegory “lothing her husband” should mean changing … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 16:45”<\/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-20818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20818","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=20818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20818\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
