Ezekiel 35
1. The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of Israel, and insulting over their distress














Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying
Again
The use of "again" signifies a continuation of communication between God and the prophet Ezekiel. This word underscores the persistent and ongoing nature of God's revelation to His prophets. In the Hebrew context, the repetition of divine messages highlights the importance and urgency of the message being delivered. It serves as a reminder of God's unwavering commitment to guide and instruct His people through His chosen messengers.

the word of the LORD
This phrase is central to understanding the prophetic tradition in the Old Testament. "The word of the LORD" (Hebrew: דְּבַר־יְהוָה, "dabar-YHWH") is a powerful expression that conveys the authority and divine origin of the message. It is not merely human speech but a direct communication from God Himself. In the conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the belief in the inerrancy and divine inspiration of Scripture. The phrase assures believers that the messages conveyed by the prophets are trustworthy and carry the weight of divine authority.

came to me
The personal nature of this phrase emphasizes the intimate relationship between God and His prophets. The Hebrew verb used here (בּוֹא, "bo") suggests an active movement, indicating that God's word actively seeks out the prophet. This highlights the role of the prophet as a chosen vessel through whom God communicates His will. It also serves as a reminder that God initiates contact with humanity, reaching out to guide, correct, and instruct His people.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message that follows. In the Hebrew text, this is often represented by the word לֵאמֹר ("lemor"), which serves as a marker for direct speech. It prepares the reader or listener for the specific instructions or revelations that God is about to impart. This word underscores the clarity and directness of God's communication, ensuring that His message is understood and conveyed accurately by the prophet. In a broader theological context, it reflects the belief that God speaks clearly and purposefully to His people, providing guidance and direction for their lives.

Verse 1. - Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. As no date is given, the present oracle, extending to the close of Ezekiel 36:15, may be assumed to have been communicated to and delivered by the prophet in immediate succession to the foregoing, with which it has also an intimate connection. Having announced the future restoration of Israel, as Jehovah's flock, to her own land under the leadership of Jehovah's servant David, who should feed them like a shepherd and rule them like a prince (Ezekiel 34:13, 23, 24), the prophet proceeds to contemplate the existing hindrance to this return in the occupation of Palestine by the Edomites, who had probably been allowed by the Chaldeans to take possession of it in payment of services rendered by them against Judah in the siege of Jerusalem - to predict the entire removal of this hindrance. (vers. 1-15), and to administer to Israel the comfort which, as a consequence, would ensue (Ezekiel 36:1-15).
