Context — God's Judgment Against Jerusalemgenerated

5This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.
6But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’
7Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You have been more insubordinate than the nations around you; you have not walked in My statutes or kept My ordinances, nor have you even conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.’
8Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.

Ezekiel 5:6 describes how Jerusalem has acted more wickedly than the nations surrounding her by rebelling against God's ordinances and statutes. This rebellion is highlighted as a serious offense, leading to God's judgment. The context emphasizes the gravity of Jerusalem's actions in contrast to the nations, indicating a deeper level of accountability due to her covenant relationship with God.

The Key Word מָרָה, va.Te.mergenerated

The verb מָרָה (marah) means to rebel, indicating a defiance against authority, particularly God's. It is a Hiphil form, which emphasizes the action of causing rebellion rather than simply being rebellious. The parsing as a third person feminine singular suggests that Jerusalem, personified as a woman, is the subject acting in rebellion.

This term captures the essence of disobedience and contention, particularly in a spiritual context. It conveys a sense of stubbornness and resistance to God's commands, which is a central theme in the prophetic literature.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb תֶּ֨מֶר (temer) governs the entire clause, indicating the action of rebellion. Two phrases follow: the first describes the object of rebellion (God's judgments), and the second compares Jerusalem's actions to those of the surrounding nations. This structure emphasizes the severity of Jerusalem's rebellion in a comparative context.

The sentence is constructed with a clear subject-verb-object order, which highlights the direct relationship between Jerusalem's actions and God's statutes.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates מָרָה as ἐρεῖς (ereis), which means 'to say' or 'to speak.' This choice may imply a broader interpretation of rebellion, suggesting not just actions but also the words and attitudes that accompany such defiance.

This translation choice reflects a potential interpretative nuance, emphasizing the verbal aspect of rebellion against God's decrees.

(6) Changed my judgments into wickedness.—Better, hath wickedly resisted my judgments, the sense adopted by most modern expositors. More than the nations.—Not, of course, absolutely, but in proportion to the knowledge and the privileges given them. It would be an exaggeration to say that the Israelites were actually more evil in their life than the surrounding heathen; for they were, no doubt, far better. Even of those cities which our Lord, at a later day, so strongly upbraided, it would be absurd to suppose that they equalled Sodom and Gomorrah in their iniquity. God’s judgments are always relative and proportioned to the opportunities He has granted to men. The point is that the…

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Verse 6. She hath changed my judgments] God shows the reason why he deals with Jerusalem in greater severity than with the surrounding nations; because she was more wicked than they. Bad and idolatrous as they were, they had a greater degree of morality among them than the Jews had. Having fallen from the true God, they became more abominable than others in proportion to the height, eminence, and glory from which they had fallen. This is the common case of backsliders; they frequently, in their fall, become tenfold more the children of wrath than they were before.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite.

כִּי (ki) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that,' 'for,' or 'when.' It indicates causal relationships and can express conditions like 'if' or 'though.' The word is versatile, appearing in various contexts to convey certainty, exception, or concession. Notably, it can combine with other particles to modify its meaning, such as in the phrase כִּי אם־ (ki im), meaning 'that if.'
