Commentary on Ezekiel 16:6

Theological / Devotional

Live. God is represented as a traveler, who, on passing by, discovers the unsightly and pitiable object. Notwithstanding its pollution, He takes pity on it and saves its life. In this helpless and miserable condition God found the Hebrews in the land of bondage. By cruel oppression and by the slaughter of male infants the Egyptians sought to prevent the children of Israel from becoming more and mightier than they (Exodus 1:9–14). But God blessed His people, and, despite hard bondage, they “waxed very mighty” (Exodus 1:20).
