Ezequiel 6:13

Filipino Cebuano Bible

13 Ug kamo makaila nga ako mao si Jehova, sa diha nga ang ilang mga minatay pagahayaon sa taliwala sa ilang mga dios-dios nga magalibut sa ilang mga halaran, ibabaw sa tagsatagsa ka hataas nga bungtod, sa tanang kinatumyan sa kabukiran, ug ilalum sa tagsatagsa ka lunhaw nga kahoy, ug ilalum sa tagsatagsa ka madasok nga kahoyng encina, ang mga dapit diin sila nanagdulot ug matam-is nga pahumot sa tanan nilang mga dios-dios.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then shall ye know that I [am] the Lord,.... Whom they had denied, by serving other gods; but now by those punishments their eyes would be opened to see, and be obliged to acknowledge, that there was no God but the Lord:

when their slain [men] shall be among their idols round about their altars; as is threatened, Ezekiel 6:5; by which it will appear that the idols whom they worshipped could not save them; since they should fall just by them, round about the altars on which they sacrificed unto them; which idols were placed, and altars for their worship built,

upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains: mountains and high hills were usual places of idolatry among the Heathens, in which the Jews imitated them, and particularly Herodotus e says of the Persians, that, going up to the highest parts of mountains, they offered sacrifice to Jupiter; so they called the whole circle of the heavens:

and under every green tree, and under every thick oak; see

1 Kings 14:23; here their slain were to fall, where they committed their idolatry: even in

the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols; or dunghill gods; yet, though they were such, sweet savour or incense was offered to them; wherefore, in righteous judgment, here their carcasses should fill and lie, and rot and stink.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The gleam of hope is but transitory. Darkness again gathers round, for as yet the prophet is predicting judgment.

Ezekiel 6:11

Smite ... stamp - Well-known modes of expressing grief.

Ezekiel 6:13

Sweet savor - Compare Genesis 8:21. Words, applied to the smell of sacrifices accepted by God, applied here to idol-sacrifices in irony.

Ezekiel 6:14

Toward Diblath - Or, “Diblathaim,” the “Diblathan” of the Moabite stone, one of the double cities of Moab (see Ezekiel 25:9) to the east of which lay the great desert of Arabia. Some read: “unto Riblah” Jeremiah 52:9 and take the margin rendering.
