Commentaries on Ezekiel 24:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Set on a pot - The pot was Jerusalem; the flesh, the inhabitants in general; every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, King Zedekiah and his family; the bones, the soldiers; and the setting on the pot, the commencement of the siege. The prophet was then in Mesopotamia; and he was told particularly to mark the day, etc., that it might be seen how precisely the spirit of prophecy had shown the very day in which the siege took place. Under the same image…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3A pot - Or, the caldron; with reference to Ezekiel 11:3. The prophet indicates by the figure utter destruction. The caldron is the city, the fire is the surrounding army, the flesh and bones are the inhabitants shut in within the walls.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3The people of Jerusalem had rebelled against their treaty with Babylon. A treaty is a formal agreement between two nations. They had also broken their covenant with the Lord. A covenant is a solemn promise or binding agreement between God and his people. By breaking both agreements, they showed that they were unfaithful to human rulers and to God.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. pot--caldron. Alluding to the self-confident proverb used among the people, Eze 11:3 (see on Eze 11:3), "This city is the caldron and we be the flesh"; your proverb shall prove awfully true, but in a different sense from what you intend. So far from the city proving an iron, caldron-like defense from the fire, it shall be as a caldron set on the fire, and the people as so many pieces of meat subjected to boiling heat. See Jr 1:13.Read the comment
