Ezekiel 21:19
_ _ two ways — The king coming from Babylon is represented in the graphic style of Ezekiel as reaching the point where the road branched off in two ways, one leading by the south, by Tadmor or Palmyra, to Rabbath of Ammon, east of Jordan; the other by the north, by Riblah in Syria, to Jerusalem — and hesitating which way to take. Ezekiel is told to “appoint the two ways” (as in Ezekiel 4:1); for Nebuchadnezzar, though knowing no other control but his own will and superstition, had really this path “appointed” for him by the all-ruling God.
_ _ out of one land — namely, Babylon.
_ _ choose ... a place — literally, “a hand.” So it is translated by Fairbairn, “make a finger-post,” namely, at the head of the two ways, the hand post pointing Nebuchadnezzar to the way to Jerusalem as the way he should select. But Maurer rightly supports English Version. Ezekiel is told to “choose the place” where Nebuchadnezzar should do as is described in Ezekiel 21:20, Ezekiel 21:21; so entirely does God order by the prophet every particular of place and time in the movements of the invader. |
Ezekiel 21:19
Appoint — Paint, or describe them on a tile. One land — That is, Babylon. Chuse — Pitch on some convenient place, where thou mayest place Nebuchadnezzar's army, consulting where this one way divides into two, which was on the edge of the desert of Arabia. At the head — Where each way runs, toward either Rabbath, or Jerusalem; for there Nebuchadnezzar will cast lots. |
Ezekiel 21:19
Also, thou son of man, mark (o) two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both [ways] shall come forth from one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city.
(o) This was spoken because when Nebuchadnezzar came against Judah his purpose was also to go against the Ammonites, but doubting in the way which enterprise to undertake first he consulted with his soothsayers and so went against Judah. |
Ezekiel 4:1- 3 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem: ... Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it [ for] a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [ shall be] a sign to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 5:1- 17 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause [ it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [ hair]. ... So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [ it].
Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
