Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 35:6

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

6. I will prepare thee unto blood —I will expose thee to slaughter. sith — old English for "seeing that" or "since." thou hast not hated blood —The Hebrew order is, "thou hast hated not—blood"; that is, thou couldst not bear to live without bloodshed [GROTIUS]. There is a play on similar sounds in the Hebrew; Edom resembling dam, the Hebrew for "blood"; as "Edom" means "red," the transition to "blood" is easy. Edom, akin to blood in name, so also in nature and acts; "blood therefore shall pursue thee." The measure which Edom meted to others should be meted to himself ( Psalms 109:17 ; Matthew 7:2 ; Matthew 26:52 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
