to give: Ezekiel 21:19, Jeremiah 25:9, Jeremiah 25:33, Jeremiah 51:20-23
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he hath given it to be furbished, that it might be handled,.... Either Nebuchadnezzar, or rather God, or the Son of God, prepared and brightened the sword, that it might be handled and made use of, either by the Chaldeans or Romans, to the destruction of the Jews. The Targum is,
"he gave their vengeance to be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.''
The sword is sharpened and furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer; either the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar; or the Roman emperor, Titus Vespasian.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The second word of judgment: the glittering and destroying sword. The passage may be called the âLay of the Sword;â it is written in the form of Hebrew poetry, with its characteristic parallelism.
Ezekiel 21:10
It contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree - The rod is the scepter of dominion, assigned to Judah Genesis 49:10. The destroying sword of Babylon despises the scepter of Judah; it despises every tree. Others render the verse, âShall we make mirthâ (saying), âthe rod of my son,â (the rod which corrects my people) âcontemnethâ (treats with scorn, utterly confounds) âevery treeâ (every other nation); or, the scepter of my people âcontemnethâ (proudly despises) every other nation. Proud as the people are, they shall be brought to sorrow.
Ezekiel 21:12
Terrors - Better as in the margin.
Smite upon thy thigh - A token of mourning (compare the marginal reference note).
Ezekiel 21:13
Or,
For it is put to the proof, and if it contemneth even the rod, What shall not be? saith the Lord
i. e., What horrors will not arise when the sword shall cut down without regard the ruling scepter of Judah!
Ezekiel 21:14
Doubled the third time - i. e., âthrice doubledâ to express its violence and force.
The sword of the slain - The sword whereby men are to be slain.
Of the great men ... - Or, The sword of the mighty slain, which presseth hard upon them.
Ezekiel 21:15
The point of the sword - The threatening sword or terror; as in Genesis 3:24, âthe flaming sword.â
And their ruins be multiplied - literally, âto the multiplication of stumblingblocks,â that is, so that the causes of their fall may be more numerous. Compare Jeremiah 46:16.
Made bright ... - Or,
Ah! It is prepared for a lightning-flash, Drawn for slaughter.
Ezekiel 21:16
The prophet addresses the sword,
Gather thyself up, O sword, to the right or to the left.
Another rendering is: âTurn thee backwards! get thee to the right! Set thee forwards (?)!get thee to the left! O whither is thy face appointed?
Ezekiel 21:17
The Lord smites together His hands in anger (marginal reference), man in consternation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 21:11. This sword is sharpened — It is prepared for the slaughter, it is furbished; from the French, foubir, to polish, brighten. He shall have splendid victories every where. Some complain of corruption in the original in this place; but I think without sufficient reason.
