Esekíel 24:7

Heilögum Biblíunni

7 Því að blóðið, sem hún hefir úthellt, er enn í henni. Hún hefir látið það renna á bera klettana, ekki hellt því á jörðina til þess að hylja það moldu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For her blood is in the midst of her,.... The blood of innocent persons shed in the midst of her, openly and publicly, cried for vengeance:

she set it upon the top of a rock; where it could not soak in, as when spilled upon soft earth: this denotes her openness and impudence in shedding blood, as not being ashamed of it, or afraid of punishment for it, but as rather glorying in it; perhaps there may be some allusion to the tops of hills and mountains, where idolatry was committed, attended with shedding human blood:

she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; she did not take any methods to hide her sin; having no sense of the heinousness of it, nor any consciousness of guilt, or any remorse or repentance; respect is had to a law which obliged to cover blood shed with dust,

Leviticus 17:13. The Targum of the whole is,

"because innocent blood which is shed in the midst of her; with pride and with a high arm she shed it; she shed it not through ignorance, that she might repent of it.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The top of a rock - The blood was poured upon a naked, dry, rock where it could not be absorbed or unnoticed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 24:7. For her blood is in the midst of her — She gloried in her idol sacrifices; she offered them upon a rock, where the blood should remain evident; and she poured none upon the ground to cover it with dust, in horror of that moral evil that required the blood of an innocent creature to be shed, in order to the atonement of the offender's guilt. To "cover the blood of the victim," was a command of the law, Leviticus 17:13; Deuteronomy 12:24.
