8. upon Moab and Seir
12. upon Edom
15. and upon the Philistines














I will give
This phrase indicates a divine action, emphasizing God's sovereignty and authority over nations. The Hebrew root "נָתַן" (natan) means to give, bestow, or grant. It reflects God's control over the fate of nations, underscoring His role as the ultimate judge and ruler. In the context of Ezekiel, it serves as a reminder of God's power to execute judgment and fulfill His promises.

Moab
Moab was a nation east of the Dead Sea, often in conflict with Israel. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and had a history of idolatry and opposition to God's people. This reference to Moab highlights the consequences of their persistent rebellion against God. Archaeological findings, such as the Mesha Stele, provide historical context for Moab's interactions with Israel and their eventual downfall.

along with the Ammonites
The Ammonites, like the Moabites, were descendants of Lot and frequently opposed Israel. The phrase indicates a shared fate with Moab, suggesting a collective judgment on these neighboring nations. Historically, the Ammonites were known for their hostility towards Israel, and this judgment reflects God's response to their actions.

to the people of the East
This phrase refers to nomadic tribes or groups from the Arabian Desert, often seen as instruments of God's judgment. The Hebrew term "בְּנֵי קֶדֶם" (bene qedem) can denote various eastern peoples, possibly including the Babylonians or other desert tribes. This transfer of land signifies a shift in power and serves as a fulfillment of God's judgment against Moab and Ammon.

as a possession
The concept of possession here implies ownership and control. The Hebrew word "לְמוֹרָשָׁה" (lemorashah) suggests an inheritance or a permanent holding. This indicates a complete transfer of land and power, symbolizing the irreversible nature of God's judgment and the fulfillment of His divine will.

so that the Ammonites will not be remembered
This phrase underscores the totality of the judgment. The Hebrew root "זָכַר" (zakar) means to remember or recall. The erasure of the Ammonites from memory signifies their complete destruction and the end of their influence. It serves as a warning of the consequences of defying God and a reminder of His justice.

among the nations
This phrase places the judgment in a broader context, highlighting the impact on the international stage. The Hebrew "בַּגּוֹיִם" (bagoyim) refers to the surrounding nations, emphasizing that God's actions are witnessed by all. It serves as a testament to God's power and a call for all nations to recognize His sovereignty and righteousness.

(10) With the Ammonites.--The division between the verses here seriously obscures the sense. The meaning is that God will throw open Moab, as well as Ammon, to the sons of the east, and will give both nations in possession to them, so that Ammon shall be no more remembered, and judgment shall be executed on Moab. They were to be conquered and desolated by Nebuchadnezzar, but possessed by the Bedouins. The Ammonites and Moabites were nations so closely connected together that nearly all which has been said of the one applies to the other.

Verse 10. - Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites. The Authorized Version is obscure. What is meant is that the Moabites as well as the Ammonites were to be given to the nomadic tribes, the "children of the east," for a possession. The doom that Ammon was to be no more remembered (Ezekiel 21:32) was to be carried out to the uttermost, and the children of the east were to complete what Nebuchadnezzar had begun. The utter destruction of Ammon was, as it were, uppermost in the prophet's thoughts, and that of Moab was but secondary. Historically, the words received a partial fulfillment in Nebuchadnezzar's conquests five years after the destruction of Jerusalem (Josephus,' Ant.,' 10:9.7, and M. yon Niebuhr's 'Geseh. Assurs,' p. 215), but the Ammonites were still an important people in the time of the Maccabees (1 Macc. 5:6, 30-45) and Justin Martyr ('Dial. cum Trypho, p. 272).
