Commentary

Commentary on Ezekiel 21:14

Theological / Devotional

Smite thine hands. A gesture of strong emotion, here evidently of horror (see Eze. 21:17; cf. Num. 24:10).

The third time. An obscure passage possibly meaning that the stroke of the sword would come not only once or twice but three times.

Privy chambers. The last clause reads literally, “which encompasses them,” that is, preventing escape.
