Commentary on Ezekiel 14:1

Theological / Devotional

Elders of Israel. Probably not to be distinguished from the elders of Judah mentioned in chapter 8:1. The existing nation was becoming known as Israel, though where distinction was intended the designation Judah was retained. The object of inquiry is not mentioned, nor is it even expressly stated that the elders made any inquiry. It appears to have been their custom to sit before the prophet, awaiting any message that might be sent to him from the Lord (see chapter 33:31).
