Ezekiel 37:16
_ _ stick — alluding to Numbers 17:2, the tribal rod. The union of the two rods was a prophecy in action of the brotherly union which is to reunite the ten tribes and Judah. As their severance under Jeroboam was fraught with the greatest evil to the covenant-people, so the first result of both being joined by the spirit of life to God is that they become joined to one another under the one covenant King, Messiah-David.
_ _ Judah, and ... children of Israel his companions — that is, Judah and, besides Benjamin and Levi, those who had joined themselves to him of Ephraim, Manasseh, Simeon, Asher, Zebulun, Issachar, as having the temple and lawful priesthood in his borders (2 Chronicles 11:12, 2 Chronicles 11:13, 2 Chronicles 11:16; 2 Chronicles 15:9; 2 Chronicles 30:11, 2 Chronicles 30:18). The latter became identified with Judah after the carrying away of the ten tribes, and returned with Judah from Babylon, and so shall be associated with that tribe at the future restoration.
_ _ For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim — Ephraim’s posterity took the lead, not only of the other descendants of Joseph (compare Ezekiel 37:19), but of the ten tribes of Israel. For four hundred years, during the period of the judges, with Manasseh and Benjamin, its dependent tribes, it had formerly taken the lead: Shiloh was its religious capital; Shechem, its civil capital. God had transferred the birthright from Reuben (for dishonoring his father’s bed) to Joseph, whose representative, Ephraim, though the younger, was made (Genesis 48:19; 1 Chronicles 5:1). From its pre-eminence “Israel” is attached to it as “companions.” The “all” in this case, not in that of Judah, which has only attached as “companions” “the children of Israel” (that is, some of them, namely, those who followed the fortunes of Judah), implies that the bulk of the ten tribes did not return at the restoration from Babylon, but are distinct from Judah, until the coming union with it at the restoration. |
Ezekiel 37:16
One stick — A writing tablet or a tally, such as is fit to be written upon. His companions — Benjamin and part of Levi, who kept with the tribe of Judah. Ephraim — Ephraim was the most considerable tribe in the kingdom of Israel, when divided from the other two. The house of Israel — The other nine tribes, who continued with Ephraim. |
Ezekiel 37:16
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take (d) another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
(d) Which signifies the joining together of the two houses of Israel and Judah. |
- take thee:
Numbers 17:2-3 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod. ... And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
|
- For Judah:
2 Chronicles 10:17 But [as for] the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
2 Chronicles 11:11-17 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine. ... So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
2 Chronicles 15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him.
2 Chronicles 30:11-18 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. ... For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
|
- For Joseph:
1 Kings 12:16-20 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither [have we] inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. ... And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
2 Chronicles 10:19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
