Ezekiel 16:4
_ _ Israel’s helplessness in her first struggling into national existence, under the image of an infant (Hosea 2:3) cast forth without receiving the commonest acts of parental regard. Its very life was a miracle (Exodus 1:15-22).
_ _ navel ... not cut — Without proper attention to the navel cord, the infant just born is liable to die.
_ _ neither ... washed in water to supple thee — that is, to make the skin soft. Rather, “for purification”; from an Arabic root [Maurer]. Gesenius translates as the Margin, “that thou mightest (be presented to thy parents to) be looked upon,” as is customary on the birth of a child.
_ _ salted — Anciently they rubbed infants with salt to make the skin firm. |
Ezekiel 16:4
In the day — In the day I called Abraham to leave his idolatry. Salted — Salt was used to purge, dry, and strengthen the new — born child. Nor swaddled — So forlorn was the state of the Jews in their birth, without beauty, without strength, without friend. |
