Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 30:17

_ _ Aven — meaning “vanity” or “iniquity”: applied, by a slight change of the Hebrew name, to On or Heliopolis, in allusion to its idolatry. Here stood the temple of the sun, whence it was called in Hebrew, Beth-shemesh (Jeremiah 43:13). The Egyptian hieroglyphics call it, Revelation Athom, the sun, the father of the gods, being impersonate in Athom or Adam, the father of mankind.

_ _ Pi-beseth — that is, Bubastis, in Lower Egypt, near the Pelusiac branch of the Nile: notorious for the worship of the goddess of the same name (Coptic, Pasht), the granite stones of whose temple still attest its former magnificence.

_ _ these cities — rather, as the Septuagint, “the women,” namely, of Aven and Pi-beseth, in antithesis to “the young men.” So in Ezekiel 30:18, “daughters shall go into captivity” [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 30:1-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 30:17

Young men — 'Tis probable these might be a body of valiant youths, collected out of these ten cities. Aven — Bethshemesh, or Heliopolis, an idolatrous city, in which was a stately temple of the sun: an hundred and fifty furlongs, that is six miles and three quarters in compass. Phibeseth — Bubastus, sometimes called Hoephestus, not far from Aven.
