Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 3:15

_ _ Tel-AbibTel means an “elevation.” It is identified by Michaelis with Thallaba on the Chabor. Perhaps the name expressed the Jews’ hopes of restoration, or else the fertility of the region. Abib means the green ears of corn which appeared in the month Nisan, the pledge of the harvest.

_ _ I sat, etc. — This is the Hebrew Margin reading. The text is rather, “I beheld them sitting there” [Gesenius]; or, “And those that were settled there,” namely, the older settlers, as distinguished from the more recent ones alluded to in the previous clause. The ten tribes had been long since settled on the Chabor or Habor (2 Kings 17:6) [Havernick].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 3:1-15.
