This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
See Eze_3:4.
To them of the captivity; of the first captivity under Jeconiah’s reign, who succeeded his father Jehoiakim, slain for his conspiracy with Egypt against Nebuchadnezzar, as 2Ki_24:1,6,7. These are those good figs, Jer_24:5-7, of whom such good is spoken, and to whom those promises are made.
Thy people; Heb. the sons of thy people. Some will have God speaking here of this people as no more his, but I think it rather is to be interpreted of some that were amidst them who were disowned of God, and were now but children or sons of the people, the apostate idolaters and debauched sinners, which might possibly have embraced the conqueror’s religion and manners.
Speak unto them: here again the command is repeated and doubled.
Thus saith the Lord: see Eze_2:4,5.
