Commentary

Commentary on Ezekiel 6:2

Theological / Devotional

Set thy face. One of Ezekiel’s characteristic phrases (see chs. 13:17; 20:46; 21:2, 16; 25:2; 28:21; 29:2; 35:2; 38:2).

Toward the mountains. A poetic figure for the people inhabiting those mountains (see Eze. 36:1; Micah 6:2). Contrasted with the widespread plains in which Ezekiel found himself, Judea was a mountainous country. Furthermore, the mountains were centers of idolatrous worship (see Deut. 12:2; 2 Kings 17:10, 11; Jer. 2:20; 3:6, 23; Hosea 4:13).
