Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 16:5

_ _ cast ... in ... open field — The exposure of infants was common in ancient times.

_ _ to the loathing of thy person — referring to the unsightly aspect of the exposed infant. Fairbairn translates, “With contempt (or disdainful indifference) of thy life.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 16:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 16:5

To the loathing — In contempt of thee as unlovely and worthless; and in abhorrence of thee as loathsome to the beholder. This seems to have reference to the exposing of the male children of the Israelites in Egypt. And it is an apt illustration of the Natural State of all the children of men. In the day that we were born, we were shapen in iniquity: our understandings darkened, our minds alienated from the life of God: all polluted with sin, which rendered us loathsome in the eyes of God.
