Ezekiel 22:18-19
house <01004> [the house.]
bronze <05178> [brass.]
in <08432> [in the midst.]
slag ..................... slag <05509> [dross. Heb. drosses.]
gather <06908> [I will.]
Jerusalem is here represented as the fining pot; all the people, who had become dross, are to be gathered together in it; and the fire of the Chaldeans, blown by the wrath of God, is to melt the whole. No ordinary means will avail to purge their impurities; the most violent must therefore be resorted to.
