6<\/strong>. borne the shame of the heathen<\/em> ] The shame cast on them by the heathen, cf. Eze 36:15<\/em><\/span>, Eze 34:29<\/span>.<\/p>\n The shame of the pagan – <\/B>The taunts which the pagan heaped upon them.<\/P> <\/p>\n Say unto the mountains:<\/B> see Eze 36:4<\/span>. <\/P> In my fury:<\/B> see Eze 36:5<\/span>, where is no difference in the thing expressed, though a little difference in the expressing of it; there it was <\/P> the fire of my jealousy, <\/B>here <\/P> in my jealousy and in my fury. Have borne the shame of the heathen; <\/B>which in Eze 36:5<\/span> is, being a <\/P> derision to the residue of the heathen; <\/B>these loaded them with reproaches, and exposed them to contempt, and Israel could not prevent it, they were forced to bear it. <\/P> <\/p>\n 6. the shame of the heathen<\/B>namely,the shame with which the heathen cover you (Psa 123:3<\/span>;Psa 123:4<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel<\/strong>,…. And the inhabitants of it, for their comfort, in this their time of distress:<\/p>\n and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, thus saith the Lord God, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury<\/strong>; with great zeal for his honour, and the interest of his people; and with indignation at his and their enemies:<\/p>\n because ye have borne the shame of the Heathen<\/strong>; their calumnies and lies, their reproaches and scoffs, their injuries and abuses; all which were resented by the Lord, and therefore he determines to punish for them.<\/p>\n 6, 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> He who is a jealous God (Eze 36:5<\/span>) affirms with uplifted hand (Eze 20:5-6<\/span>) that his people shall bear no longer this shame and reproach which has been heaped upon them (Eze 36:2-3<\/span>; Eze 36:15<\/span>; Eze 34:29<\/span>); but this very shame shall soon fall upon their enemies, who shall be overtaken by a just retribution. (Compare Eze 16:52<\/span>.)<\/p>\n “Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations (those outside of the covenant), Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, I have lifted up my hand, saying, Surely the nations who are round about you, they will bear their shame, but you, O mountains of Israel, you will shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they are at hand to come.”<\/p>\n The whole section from Eze 36:3<\/span> to this point is one long expression of passion and concern. It was bringing out God’s deep concern for His people, and how they had been treated by those who were not the rod of His anger. He could chastise them for their good, but woe betide anyone else who sought to chastise them for the wrong reasons. Now we come to the crunch point. Those nations will bear their shame as they have shamed Israel, while Israel will eventually be restored.<\/p>\n ‘Behold I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury.’ That is His deep passion and concern for His people and anger at the sinfulness of men who oppose them.<\/p>\n ‘Because you have borne the shame of the nations (those outside of the covenant).’ The word for ‘nations’ includes the idea of being those outside the covenant. ‘The nations’ were those who were in contrast with the chosen people, the covenant people of God. And now the local nations had shamed Israel by their treatment of her, by sneering at her, by degrading her God, and by possessing her land.<\/p>\n ‘Surely the nations who are round about you, they will bear their shame.’ What they have done to Israel will rebound on them. They too will be sneered at, their gods will be revealed as nothing, and their land will be taken from them.<\/p>\n ‘But you, O mountains of Israel, you will shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they are at hand to come.’ In contrast Israel’s land, indeed Yahweh’s land, will yet prosper and be fruitful on behalf of His own people Israel. For while they may yet be absent, they will return, ‘they are at hand to come’. They are nearby awaiting the call, once they have received their deserts for their past sins.<\/p>\n Eze 36:6-7<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Behold, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> We may point thus: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury. Because ye have borne the reproach of the nations, therefore, <\/em>&c. <\/p>\n Eze 36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:<\/p>\n Ver. 6. Say unto the mountains and to the hills.<\/strong> ] To those lifeless creatures he directeth his speech, to show that every creature groaneth and waiteth for the redemption of our bodies. It fareth the better also in this life present, for the elect’s sake, as it was once cursed for man’s sin, and hath lain bedridden, as it were, ever since. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because ye have borne the shame of the heathen.<\/strong> ] This the Lord could not bear with any patience.<\/p>\n the land of Israel = the soil of Israel. See note on Eze 11:17. Behold. Figure of speech Asterismos. App-8. <\/p>\n Eze 36:4, Eze 36:5, Eze 36:15, Eze 34:29, Psa 74:10, Psa 74:18, Psa 74:23, Psa 123:3, Psa 123:4 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Eze 5:13 – spoken Eze 16:52 – bear thine Eze 32:24 – borne Eze 38:18 – that Oba 1:19 – the fields of Ephraim Nah 1:2 – is furious Zep 1:18 – the fire Zep 3:8 – for all Zec 8:2 – I was jealous<\/p>\n Eze 36:6. For the sake of brevity we will consider the word land as including the mountains and rivers and all other geographical parts of the country. Ye (the land) have borne the shame of the heathen means the nations had desolated the land and that provoked the Lord to jealous fury.<\/p>\n 36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the {e} shame of the nations:<\/p>\n (e) Because you have been a laughing stock to them.<\/p>\n Ezekiel was to announce to the whole Promised Land that Yahweh had spoken in His jealousy and wrath because Israel had suffered the insults of the nations (cf. Gen 12:3). The nations round about Israel would surely have to endure the consequences of their insults against Israel.<\/p>\n Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen: 6. borne the shame of the heathen … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 36:6”<\/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-21376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21376","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=21376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21376\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
