Context — A Prophecy against Moab
8This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”
9therefore I will indeed expose the flank of Moab beginning with its frontier cities—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim—the glory of the land.
10I will give it along with the Ammonites as a possession to the people of the East, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.
11So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’ 12This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt,Cross References

Ezekiel 25:10 Summary
[This verse is saying that God will give the land of Ammon to the people of the East, and the Ammonites will no longer be a significant nation. This is because the Ammonites have sinned against God, and He is judging them for their wrongdoing (Ezekiel 25:10). Just like the Israelites were punished for their sins, as described in Deuteronomy 28:15-68, the Ammonites are facing God's judgment for their disobedience. However, God's ultimate goal is to redeem and restore His people, as promised in Ezekiel 36:22-32.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the Ammonites to be 'no longer remembered among the nations'?
This phrase suggests that the Ammonites will lose their national identity and significance, much like the prophecy against Babylon in Isaiah 14:22-23, where God says He will 'sweep Babylon with the broom of destruction' and make it a desolate place.
Who are the 'people of the East' mentioned in this verse?
The 'people of the East' likely refer to the nomadic tribes that lived east of the Jordan River, such as the Bedouin peoples, who will receive the land of Ammon as a possession, as part of God's judgment on the Ammonites for their sins (Ezekiel 25:10).
Is this verse related to the prophecies against Moab in the surrounding verses?
Yes, this verse is connected to the prophecies against Moab, as God is pronouncing judgment on both Moab and Ammon for their sins, with Moab's punishment described in Ezekiel 25:9 and the Ammonites' punishment described in Ezekiel 25:10.
How does this verse relate to God's larger plan of redemption?
This verse is part of God's larger plan to judge the nations for their sins, as described in Ezekiel 25:1-17, and to ultimately redeem His people, as promised in Ezekiel 36:22-32, where God says He will give them a new heart and put His Spirit within them.
Reflection Questions
- What can we learn about God's character from His judgment on the Ammonites, and how can we apply this to our own lives?
- How do the prophecies against the Ammonites and Moab relate to the larger biblical theme of God's judgment and redemption?
- In what ways can we see God's sovereignty and power at work in this verse, and how can we trust in His goodness and wisdom?
- What does this verse teach us about the importance of remembering and honoring God, and how can we apply this to our daily lives?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:10
The men of the East: see . With; rather against, and so the Hebrew, and the sense is plain; or, as our translation reads it, with, i.e. as I have given Ammon, so I will with them give Moab to the Chaldeans first, who will give Moab to the Arabians. Possession: see . That the Ammonites; I suppose here is either an ellipsis, thus, that as the Ammonites should so perish, as not to be remembered, so should Moab also; or else Ammon is appellative here, and speaks the numerousness of Moab, which yet should so cease as to be forgotten.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:10
Ezekiel 25:10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.Ver. 10. That the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.] A fearful hand of God upon them, as it was also upon some other peoples, who are so utterly extinct that the learned can now hardly divine where their seats were.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:10
(10) With the Ammonites.—The division between the verses here seriously obscures the sense. The meaning is that God will throw open Moab, as well as Ammon, to the sons of the east, and will give both nations in possession to them, so that Ammon shall be no more remembered, and judgment shall be executed on Moab. They were to be conquered and desolated by Nebuchadnezzar, but possessed by the Bedouins. The Ammonites and Moabites were nations so closely connected together that nearly all which has been said of the one applies to the other.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:10
Verse 10. That the Ammonites] The Syriac has, "That Rabbah of the sons of Ammon be not remembered."
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 25:10
10. Read, with full stop at Ezekiel 25:9 : Unto the children of the East will I give it for possession together with the children of Ammon (Ezekiel 25:4). Moab and Ammon alike shall become a possession of the wandering Bedawin. The name of Ammon shall disappear from among the nations, and Moab shall be visited with severe judgments.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 25:10
Ammon and Moab, of common origin, whose lands had so often been interchanged, shall now share a common ruin.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:10
10. Unto the men of the east — R.V., margin, “Together with the children of Ammon, unto the children of the east.” The meaning must be that both Moabites and Ammonites would fall before these fierce nomadic hordes.
