Their sin and punishment are further enlarged upon:<\/p>\n because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with thy feet<\/strong>: gestures expressive of joy and gladness, Isa 55:12<\/span>, the Ammonites clapped their hands together, and leaped and skipped for joy, when they heard of the calamities of the Jews; who yet had more reason to be sorrowful, since they might expect their turn would be next; for the king of Babylon had a design against them, at the same time he came against Jerusalem, and was in doubt for a while which he should attack first; see Eze 21:20<\/span>:<\/p>\n and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;<\/strong> they had a secret joy in their heart, which they expressed by gestures, in the most spiteful and scornful manner they were capable of; which showed the wretched malignity of their dispositions against the children of Israel; they hated them with a perfect hatred.<\/p>\n (6) Clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet.<\/strong>See Eze. 6:11<\/span> and Note there.<\/p>\n 6<\/strong>. <\/strong> Despite <\/strong> Contempt. <\/em> (Compare Wyclif’s translation of Rom 9:21<\/span>: “oo vessel into onour, anothir into dispyte.”)<\/p>\n ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel, therefore behold I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations, and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from among the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’<\/p>\n The charge is extended to the fact that they had not only said the knowing ‘Aha’ but had actually shown great glee and delight in Jerusalem’s misery. Indeed their malice is stressed. And this was against the people of Yahweh, and therefore a slight on Yahweh Himself. Thus Yahweh, Who deals righteously with all nations, would stretch out His hand and hand them over as spoil to the nations, and would have them removed for ever from the list of nations. As this occurred to them they would then know that He is Yahweh, and that they were wrong to say ‘Aha’ at what they thought was His defeat. It would now be His turn to say ‘Aha’.<\/p>\n According to Josephus it was an historical fact that Ammon no longer existed as a nation after Nebuchadnezzar had first destroyed it, and then the Bedouins from the east had plundered it and taken it over. The ‘bringing again’ of the captivity of the children of Ammon (Jer 49:6<\/span>) may refer to the Persian period (Neh 2:10<\/span>; Neh 2:19<\/span>; Neh 4:7<\/span>), but more probably it is God’s way of saying that finally none of these nations go beyond His purview even in their extremity. When God reaches out to the new Israel, the ‘Israel of God’ (Gal 6:16<\/span>), with the Gospel (Isa 61:1-2<\/span>), it will include many from all these countries.<\/p>\n Eze 25:6<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Clapped thine hands<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> This was a sign of joy, which the other expression of stamping with the feet <\/em>implies likewise. <\/p>\n Eze 25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped [thine] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;<\/p>\n Ver. 6.

The bodily acts described were condemned because they were done in a tone of rejoicing over Judahs experiences. With all thy despite means they had a feeling of contempt for Gods people.<\/p>\n Because the Ammonites had rejoiced over Israel’s misfortune the Lord would punish them and give them as the spoils of war to other nations. He would end their existence as a separate nation and destroy them as a people. Ammon no longer existed as a nation after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it and Bedouins from the east plundered it. [Note: Davidson, p. 180.] <\/span> This judgment would teach them that Yahweh is God.<\/p>\n "Oracles against foreign nations are always implicitly oracles of encouragement for God’s people." [Note: Stuart, p. 250.] <\/span><\/p>\n Jeremiah predicted that Yahweh would restore the fortunes of the Ammonites (Jer 49:6). This occurred briefly after the Exile. Tobiah was a Persian governor of Ammon during the postexilic period (cf. Neh 2:10; Neh 2:19; Neh 4:7). But restoration of this region will also take place in the Millennium (cf. Jer 46:26-28; Jer 48:47).<\/p>\n For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped [thine] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; 6. clapped thine hands ] A gesture of malicious delight, Lam 2:15.
