Ezekiel 16:8
_ _ thy time of love — literally, “loves” (compare Song of Songs 2:10-13). Thou wast of marriageable age, but none was willing to marry thee, naked as thou wast. I then regarded thee with a look of grace when the full time of thy deliverance was come (Genesis 15:13, Genesis 15:14; Acts 7:6, Acts 7:7). It is not she that makes the advance to God, but God to her; she has nothing to entitle her to such notice, yet He regards her not with mere benevolence, but with love, such as one cherishes to the person of his wife (Song of Songs 1:3-6; Jeremiah 31:3; Malachi 1:2).
_ _ spread my skirt over thee — the mode of espousals (Ruth 3:9). I betrothed thee (Deuteronomy 4:37; Deuteronomy 10:15; Hosea 11:1). The cloak is often used as a bed coverlet in the East. God explains what He means, “I entered into ... covenant with thee,” that is, at Sinai. So Israel became “the wife of God’s covenant” (Isaiah 54:5; Jeremiah 3:14; Hosea 2:19, Hosea 2:20; Malachi 2:14).
_ _ thou ... mine — (Exodus 19:5; Jeremiah 2:2). |
Ezekiel 16:8
When I passed — This second passing by, may be understood of God's visiting and calling them out of Egypt. Thy time — The time of thy misery was the time of love in me towards thee. I spread my skirt — Espoused thee, as Ruth 3:9. Entered into a covenant — This was done at mount Sinai, when the covenant between God and Israel was sealed and ratified. Those to whom God gives spiritual life, he takes into covenant with himself. By this covenant they become his, his subjects and servants; that speaks their duty: and at the same time his portion, his treasure; that speaks their privilege. |
Ezekiel 16:8
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered (d) thy nakedness: yea, I swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with (e) thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
(d) These words as blood, pollution, nakedness and filthiness are often repeated to beat down their pride, and to cause them to consider what they were before God received them to mercy, favoured them and covered their shame.
(e) That you should be a chaste wife to me, and that I should maintain you and endue you with all graces. |
