Commentary on Ezekiel 24:10

Theological / Devotional

Consume. Heb. tamam, literally, “to complete,” “to bring to an end.” The RSV translation “boil well” is interpretative, but probably conveys the intended idea.

Spice. Heb. raqach, a verb form of which is used to designate the mixing of the ingredients of the anointing oil (Ex. 30:33, 35). Its meaning here is uncertain. The LXX renders the clause, “that the broth may be diminished.”
