Contextual Overview

1 Agayne the word of the Lorde came vnto me, saying: 2 Thou sonne of man, shewe Hierusale their abhominations, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lorde God vnto Hierusalem: thy habitation and kinred is of the lande of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorite, thy mother an Hittite. 4 In the day of thy byrth when thou wast borne, the string of thy nauell was not cut of, thou wast not bathed in water to make thee cleane, thou wast not salted with salt, nor swadled in cloutes. 5 No eye pitied thee to do any of these thinges for thee, for to haue compassion vpon thee: but thou wast vtterly cast out vpon the fielde in contempt of thy person in the day of thy byrth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Idolatry is frequently represented by the prophets under the figure of a wife’s unfaithfulness to her husband. This image is here so portrayed, as to exhibit the aggravation of Israel’s guilt by reason of her origin and early history. The original abode of the progenitors of the race was the land of Canaan, defiled with idolatry and moral corruption. Israel itself was like a child born in a polluted land, abandoned from its birth, left by its parents in the most utter neglect to the chance regard of any passer-by. Such was the state of the people in Egypt Ezekiel 16:3-5. On such a child the Lord looked with pity, tended, and adopted it. Under His care it grew up to be comely and beautiful, and the Lord joined it to Himself in that close union, which is figured by the bonds of wedlock. The covenants made under Moses and Joshua represent this alliance Ezekiel 16:6-8. In the reigns of David and Solomon, Israel shone with all the glory of temporal prosperity Ezekiel 16:9-14. The remainder of the history of the people when divided is, in the prophet’s eye, a succession of defection and degradation marked by the erection of high places Ezekiel 16:16-20; by unholy alliances with foreign nations Ezekiel 16:26-33. Such sins were soon to meet their due punishment. As an unfaithful wife was brought before the people, convicted, and stoned, so should the Lord make His people a gazing-stock to all the nations round about, deprive them of all their possessions and of their city, and cast them forth as exiles to be spoiled and destroyed in a foreign land Ezekiel 16:35-43.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVI

In this chapter the mercy of God to Jerusalem, (or the Jewish

Church and nation,) is set forth by the emblem of a person that

should take up an exposed infant, bring her up with great

tenderness, and afterwards marry her, 1-14.

She is then upbraided with her monstrous ingratitude in

departing from the worship of God, and polluting herself with

the idolatries of the nations around her, under the figure of

a woman that proves false to a tender and indulgent husband,

15-52.

But, notwithstanding these her heinous provocations, God

promises, after she should suffer due correction, to restore

her again to his favour, 53-63.

The mode of describing apostasy from the true religion to the

worship of idols under the emblem of adultery, (a figure very

frequent in the sacred canon,) is pursued unth great force, and

at considerable length, both in this and the twenty-third

chapter; and is excellently calculated to excite in the Church

of God the highest detestation of all false worship.
