God's vengeance, for their insolence against the Jews, upon the Ammonites8. upon Moab and Seir 12. upon Edom 15. and upon the Philistines therefore I will stretch out My hand against you The phrase "stretch out My hand" is a powerful biblical metaphor often used to signify God's direct intervention, typically in judgment or deliverance. In Hebrew, the word for "hand" (יָד, yad) symbolizes power and authority. This imagery recalls the Exodus narrative, where God stretched out His hand against Egypt (Exodus 7:5). Here, it signifies God's active role in executing judgment against Ammon for their transgressions, emphasizing His sovereign control over nations. and give you as plunder to the nations I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the lands I will destroy you and you will know that I am the LORD Shalt know that I am the Lord.--This frequent close of the denunciatory prophecies against Israel in the former chapters is here also used at the close of each message in this chapter, and of many of the other prophecies against foreign nations.

Verse 7. - A spoil to the heathen. The noun for "spoil" is not found elsewhere, but probably means "food." The Hebrew Keri, i.e. its marginal reading, gives the same word as that rendered "spoil" in Ezekiel 27:5. The meaning is substantially the same whichever word we choose. Ezekiel, it will be noticed, says nothing about the return of the Ammonites, but contemplates, as in Ezekiel 21:32, entire destruction. The moaning of Rabbah ("great" or "populous"), the mother-city of Ammon, gives greater force to the prophecy of desolation.Parallel Commentaries ...
