30<\/strong>. The princes of the North and the Sidonians. The former are probably those of the Syrian states, and the Sidonians represent the Phnician principalities in general.<\/p>\n with their terror<\/em> ] Rather, in close connexion with the preceding, gone down with the slain, because of<\/strong> (notwithstanding) their terror<\/strong> (coming) from their might<\/strong> (they are) ashamed.<\/strong> The term “ashamed” is wanting in LXX., and it occurs only here.<\/p>\n The princes of the north – <\/B>i. e., north of Palestine – The Tyrians and the Syrians.<\/P> With their terror they are ashamed of their might – <\/B>i. e., When their might and power were terrible to all, they were shorn of their power and delivered over to shame and confusion. There are here six nations, Asshur, Elam, Meshech, Tubal, Edom, Zidon, which added to Egypt make up seven (see the Eze 25:1<\/span> note). The section which contains the prophecies against the pagan, closing with this description of the kings who had gone down to the grave, accords with the general purport of the whole section, namely,: the declaration that all the powers of the world shall be annihilated to make way for the kingdom of God.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 30<\/span>.

The kings of Babylon, according to Kimchi, which lay north of Judea; or the princes of Syria, Damascus, and Tyre, especially the latter, which commonly goes along with Zidon, being near it, as follows:<\/p>\n and all the Zidonians<\/strong>. The Vulgate Latin version renders it, “and all the hunters”; but wrongly; as also the Septuagint and Arabic versions, which read the princes or soldiers of Assyria. The Zidonians or inhabitants of Zidon are meant as the Targum; a famous maritime city, as Tyre also was, in Phoenicia:<\/p>\n which are gone down with the slain<\/strong>; into the grave, being conquered and destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar; see Eze 28:21<\/span>:<\/p>\n with their terror they are ashamed of their might<\/strong>, the number and strength of their armies, the valour and courage of their soldiers, and the fortifications of their cities, in which they trusted, and of which they boasted; but yet could not preserve them from ruin:<\/p>\n and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword<\/strong>; in common with other profane and wicked persons that have fallen by the sword as they have done:<\/p>\n and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit<\/strong>;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 32:24]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (30) The princes of the north.<\/strong>The word is not the same as that used for the princes of Edom in Eze. 32:29<\/span>. That refers to the heads of the Edomite tribes, but this is thought to imply enfeoffed or vassal princes. However this may be, from the connection with the Zidonians it is clear that not the far north is intended, but perhaps chieftains of Syria, Damascus, and the like.<\/p>\n The Zidonians.<\/strong>With the rise of Tyre, Zidon had long since lost its pre-eminence among the Phnician cities; but it was still an important and an independent city, and was doomed to far greater humiliation in the future.<\/p>\n “There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians who are gone down with the slain. In the terror that they caused by their might they are ashamed, and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.”<\/p>\n The princes of the north were probably the Phoenician princes of the various Phoenician cities north of Palestine (often spoken of as ‘Canaanites’). Possibly the Tyrians are not mentioned because they were seen as buried in the sea (see Rev 20:12-13<\/span>), which explains why the Zidonians were mentioned instead. They too had caused terror and therefore joined with the uncircumcised and those slain by the sword in Sheol, and bear their shame.<\/p>\n So the list of nations is composed in the main of those who were seen as ‘causing terror’, probably mainly in association with Assyria, although Meshech and Tubal are partly excepted and therefore lie alone. However, their fearsome activities had ensured their mention. All were or would be destroyed by Babylon, and so Egypt will also shortly join them in their fate. Babylon are not mentioned. At this stage they are the champions of Yahweh. This excludes us from making this description signify the time of the end. Notice the continual stress on those ‘slain by the sword’, the sword of Yahweh in the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.<\/p>\n Eze 32:30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.<\/p>\n Ver. 30. There be the princes of the north,<\/strong> ] i.e., <\/em> Saith Junius, The Syrians, Tyrians, and others. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And all the Zidonians.<\/strong> ] All the hunters, saith the Vulgate, taking the word appellatively. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Which are gone down.<\/strong> ] The same again, ad maius pathos.<\/p>\n NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Eze 32:30<\/p>\n 30There also are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.<\/p>\n the princes: The kings of Media, Armenia, and other nations north of Chaldea, or of the Syrians and others north of Judah, with “all the Zidonians,” kings of Zidon, Tyre, and other cities of Phoenicia. Eze 38:6, Eze 38:15, Eze 39:2, Jer 25:22 <\/p>\n and bear: Eze 32:24, Eze 32:25 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 16:33 – into the Jer 25:26 – all the kings Eze 28:21 – Zidon Eze 32:19 – with Eze 32:20 – fall Eze 32:22 – General Eze 39:26 – they have borne<\/p>\n Eze 32:30. The Zidonians dwelt near the sea and were north of the people of Israel. The fate that happened to these foes was similar to that decreed against other heathen nations. With their terror they are ashamed of their might means that in spite of their terrible might they were brought down to shame.<\/p>\n 32:30 There [are] the princes of the {s} north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that are] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.<\/p>\n (s) The kings of Babylon.<\/p>\n There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. 30. … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 32:30”<\/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-21289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21289","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=21289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21289\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
