Wesley: Eze 21:2 - -- The temple and all parts of it.

The temple and all parts of it.

JFB: Eze 21:2 - -- The three parts of the temple: the courts, the holy place, and the holiest. If "synagogues" existed before the Babylonian captivity, as Psa 74:8 seems...

The three parts of the temple: the courts, the holy place, and the holiest. If "synagogues" existed before the Babylonian captivity, as Psa 74:8 seems to imply, they and the proseuchæ, or oratories, may be included in the "holy places" here.

Clarke: Eze 21:2 - -- Set thy face toward Jerusalem - This is a continuation of the preceding prophecy; and in this chapter the prophet sets before them, in the plainest ...

Set thy face toward Jerusalem - This is a continuation of the preceding prophecy; and in this chapter the prophet sets before them, in the plainest language, what the foregoing metaphors meant, so that they could not complain of his parables.

Barnes: Eze 21:1-2 - -- The first word of judgment Eze 21:1-7. Ezekiel speaks first to the people of Israel, shows the universality of the coming destructions, and indicate...

The first word of judgment Eze 21:1-7. Ezekiel speaks first to the people of Israel, shows the universality of the coming destructions, and indicates by a sign (that of sighing) the sadness of the calamity.

The words and order of words are identical with Eze 20:45-46, except that for "south,"there are substituted:

\tx720 \tx1080 (1) "Jerusalem;"

(2) "the holy place,"i. e., the temple and its various parts;

(3) "the land of Israel."

No subterfuge is left for the people to pretend misunderstanding.

Poole: Eze 21:2 - -- Set thy face put thyself in a posture may bespeak thy going to prophesy. Toward Jerusalem or against Jerusalem, called, Eze 20:46 , forest of the ...

Set thy face put thyself in a posture may bespeak thy going to prophesy.

Toward Jerusalem or against Jerusalem, called, Eze 20:46 , forest of the south field. Drop thy word ; of the phrase see Eze 20:46 ; as rain from heaven, so distil my word.

The holy places either the temple, and all the parts of it, which were three, the porch, the holy, and holy of holies; or their synagogues, in which they met to worship and read the law, which were burnt up by this fire, Psa 74:8 .

Against the land of Israel not only against Jerusalem, but the whole land of Israel, from the south thereof to the north; as Eze 20:47 .

Gill: Eze 21:2 - -- Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem,.... Which shows that this city was meant by "the south", Eze 20:46, and drop thy word toward the holy pl...

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem,.... Which shows that this city was meant by "the south", Eze 20:46,

and drop thy word toward the holy places; which also are meant by the south in the passage referred to, even the holy land, holy city, and holy temple; or the temple itself is only meant, with the courts adjoining to it; or as consisting of three parts, as Kimchi, the porch, the temple, and the oracle; or the outward court, the holy place, and the holy of holies; and it may respect all other places for sacred worship, as their synagogues, both in city and country; which were not to be spared any more than the temple, nor were they, Psa 74:7. Jarchi thinks that the destruction both of the first and second temple is here intended; and which sense Kimchi also mentions.

And prophesy against the land of Israel: by which it appears that this is intended by the "forest of the south field": even the numerous inhabitants of it in general, as well as the city of Jerusalem, Eze 20:46.
