Commentary on Ezekiel 11:15

Theological / Devotional

Thy brethren. That is, those who were with Ezekiel in exile.

Kindred. Heb. ge’ullah, a word that refers to the duties of the go’el, the blood relative who took up the cause of his near of kin (Lev. 25:25, 48; see on Ruth 2:20).

Get you far. An expression of arrogant confidence devoid of sympathy for the banished. The inhabitants of Jerusalem exhibited a “holier than thou” attitude toward those who were exiles in Babylon.
