Ezekiel 6
DOYLYEzekiel 6:14
- — toward Diblath.] Diblath was part of the desert in the borders of Moab; it occurs in several places of the Bible: Numb. xxxiii. 46; Jer. xlviii. 22. Calmet.
Chap. VII. ver. 2. — unto the land of Israel.] The whole country of Judea; see chap. vi. 2, and note. It is probable that Manasws, and his successors in the kingdom of Judah, had the dominion of the whole land of Canaan, formerly divided into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel, as tributaries under the kings of Assyria. Dean Prideaux.
— upon the four corners] St. Jerome says, that the iniquity of the Jews was now arrived at its height; and that the calamity, which the Prophet foretold, would not be peculiar to this or that place, or to this or that tribe, but would fall upon all the people, and all the parts of the promised land. Calmet.
