Zechariah 5:6
_ _ This is their resemblance — literally, “eye” (compare Ezekiel 1:4, Ezekiel 1:5, Ezekiel 1:16). Hengstenberg translates, “Their (the people’s) eye” was all directed to evil. But English Version is better. “This is the appearance (that is, an image) of the Jews in all the land” (not as English Version, “in all the earth”), that is, of the wicked Jews.
_ _ This — Here used of what was within the ephah, not the ephah itself. |
Zechariah 5:6
He — The angel. An ephah — A measure which held about three bushels. Goeth forth — Out of the temple. Their resemblance — This is an emblem of this people everywhere. Thus there is limited time and measure for them, while they sin, and are filling the ephah with their sins, they will find that the ephah of wrath is filled up also, to be poured out upon them. |
Zechariah 5:6
And I said, What [is] it? And he said, This [is] an (e) ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their (f) resemblance through all the earth.
(e) Which was a measure in dry things, containing about five gallons.
(f) That is, all the wickedness of the ungodly is in God's sight, which he keeps in a measure, and can shut it or open it at his pleasure. |
- This is an ephah:
- "The meaning of this vision," says Archbishop Newcome, "seems to be, that the Babylonish captivity had happened on account of the wickedness of the Jews, and that a like dispersion would befall them if they relapsed into like crimes." The woman who sat in the ephah was an emblem of the Jewish nation; the casting the weight of lead on the mouth of the ephah seems to mean the condemnation of the Jews, after they had filled up the measure of their iniquities by crucifying the Messiah; the "two women, with wings like a stork, and the wind in their wings," seem emblematical of the Roman armies and the rapidity of their conquests; and their lifting up the ephah and carrying it through the air, to build it a house in Shinar or Babylon, where it was fixed on its own basis, represents the taking of Jerusalem, the dispersion of the Jews, and the long continuance of that calamity, as a just punishment of their unbelief.
Ezekiel 44:10-11 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity. ... Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having] charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
Amos 8:5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
