Шаблон:AnchorThe outcome of the siege (5:1–4)
This section records the 'third acted prophecy of siege' to depict the fate of the people under siege. Isaiah has prophesied over a century earlier that 'Judah would be shaved by the razor of Assyria' (Шаблон:Bibleverse). Ezekiel is to act out the prophecy, giving it a fresh meaning for its fulfilment in the immediate future.Шаблон:Sfn
Verse 1
- "And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber's razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair."[5]
- "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם Шаблон:Strong-number-Шаблон:Strong-number): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.Шаблон:Sfn
- "Razor": to depict "military defeat" (Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn
Methodist commentator Joseph Benson notes that hair was "then accounted an ornament, and baldness a token of sorrow, therefore shaving denoted calamity or desolation".[6] It was contrary to Leviticus 21:5 for a Jewish priest to cut his hair or shave his beard:
- Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: ... 'They shall not make any bald place on their heads, nor shall they shave the edges of their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh'.[7]
Verse 3
- "You shall also take a small number of them [his hair] and bind them in the edge of your garment."[8]
This small number symbolises the remnant of the people of Judah who survived.[9]
Шаблон:AnchorThe meaning of the siege signs (5:5–17)
Having described the complete disaster that would soon befall the besieged city, the identity of the city is finally revealed to be Jerusalem (verse 5). It is followed by the reason for the prophecies (verses 5–6a) and God's judgements for the city (verses 8ff).Шаблон:Sfn
