Ezekiel 7:2

Two or three MSS. read {ketz ba, ba hakketz,} "the end cometh, come is the end;" which is supported by all the ancient versions.

defiled <02930> [they defiled.]
uncleanness <02932> [as the.]
Psalms 79:1-3
psalm <04210> [A.M. 3416. B.C. 588. (Title.) A Psalm.]
This Psalm is supposed, with much probability, to have been written on the destruction of the city and temple of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.
Asaph <0623> [of Asaph. or, for Asaph.]

holy <06944> [holy.]
turned <07760> [have laid.]
blood <01818> [Their.]
bury <06912> [and there, etc.]
Either there was no friend or relation left to bury them, or none was allowed to perform this last sad office. The despotism of eastern princes often proceeds to such a degree of extravagance as to fill the mind with astonishment and horror. In Morocco, no person dares to bury the body of a malefactor without an order from the emperor; and Windus, speaking of a man who was to have been sawn in two, informs us, that "his body must have remained to be eaten by the dogs, if the emperor had not pardoned him."

Luke 13:1
Galileans <1057> [the Galilaeans.]
The Galilaeans are frequently mentioned by Josephus as the most turbulent and seditious people, being upon all occasions ready to disturb the Roman authority. It is uncertain to what event our Lord refers; but is probable that they were the followers of Judas Gaulonitis, who opposed paying tribute to Caesar and submitting to the Roman government. A party of them coming to Jerusalem during one of the great festivals, and presenting their oblations in the court of the temple, Pilate treacherously sent a company of soldiers, who slew them, and "mingled their blood with their sacrifices."
had mixed <3396> [mingled.]
