It is a common prophetic formula used to assert that the message is directly from God, underscoring the seriousness and certainty of the forthcoming declaration.Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken: God's "burning zeal" reflects His passionate commitment to His people and His land. This zeal is often associated with divine judgment and protection, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/isaiah/9-7.htm">Isaiah 9:7</a> and <a href="/zechariah/1-14.htm">Zechariah 1:14</a>. It indicates God's intense emotional response to the injustices committed against Israel.Against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom: The nations and Edom are singled out for their actions against Israel. Historically, Edom, descendants of Esau, had a longstanding enmity with Israel, descendants of Jacob. This animosity is documented in passages like <a href="/obadiah/1-10.htm">Obadiah 1:10-14</a> and <a href="/amos/1-11.htm">Amos 1:11</a>. The "rest of the nations" likely refers to surrounding peoples who also opposed Israel.Who took My land as their own possession: The land is described as "My land," highlighting God's ownership and covenantal promise to Israel (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The nations' appropriation of the land is seen as a direct affront to God's sovereignty and His covenant with Israel.With wholehearted joy and utter contempt: This phrase indicates the malicious intent and pleasure the nations, particularly Edom, took in seizing the land. Their actions were not only opportunistic but also disdainful, reflecting a deep-seated animosity towards Israel. This attitude is condemned in scriptures like <a href="/psalms/137-7.htm">Psalm 137:7</a> and <a href="/lamentations/4-21.htm">Lamentations 4:21-22</a>.So that its pastureland became plunder: The reference to "pastureland" being plundered underscores the devastation and exploitation of the land's resources. This imagery is often used to depict the consequences of foreign invasion and occupation, as seen in <a href="/joel/1-6.htm">Joel 1:6-7</a>.

Against all Idumea. Edom. As in <a href="/ezekiel/35-15.htm">Ezekiel 35:15</a>, so here, it is the wickedness, more especially of the Edomites, that excites the prophet's indignation. They had not only concluded that Israel's territory should be to them for a possession, but they had done so with the joy of all their heart, and with despiteful minds; or, with contempt of soul (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/25-6.htm">Ezekiel 25:6, 15</a>); i.e. with deadly (Ewald) or hearty (Smend) contempt. "The temper of the Edomites," writes Plumptre, "might almost serve as the regulative instance of the form of evil for which Aristotle ('Eth. Nit.,' 2, 7, 15) seems to have coined the word ἐπιχαιρεκακία, the temper which rejoices in the ills that fall on others." The concluding clause, to cast it out for a prey, has been differently rendered. (1) Regarding מִגְרָשָׁהּ as an infinitive after לְמַעַן, "to spoil it," i.e. the land (Gesenius), "empty out" (Keil) or "drive out" (Ewald, Smend) its inhabitants (so as to get it) for a prey. (2) Taking מִגְרָשָׁהּ as a noun, "for the sake of its possession for a prey" (Kliefoth), that their suburbs should be a prey" (Hengstenberg) "on account of its pasturage for a prey" (Schroder). (3) Changing לָבַז into לָבֹז, "in order to plunder its produce" (Hitzig) or "pasturage" (Fairbairn). <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Therefore, לָכֵ֗ן (lā·ḵên) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3651.htm">Strong's 3651: </a> So -- thus this is what כֹּֽה־ (kōh-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now the Lord אֲדֹנָ֣י (’ă·ḏō·nāy) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> The Lord GOD יְהוִה֒ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel says: אָמַר֮ (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say ‘Surely אִם־ (’im-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_518.htm">Strong's 518: </a> Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, not in My burning בְּאֵ֨שׁ (bə·’êš) Preposition-b | Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_784.htm">Strong's 784: </a> A fire zeal קִנְאָתִ֥י (qin·’ā·ṯî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7068.htm">Strong's 7068: </a> Ardor, zeal, jealousy I have spoken דִבַּ֛רְתִּי (ḏib·bar·tî) Verb - Piel - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue against עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the rest שְׁאֵרִ֥ית (šə·’ê·rîṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7611.htm">Strong's 7611: </a> Rest, residue, remnant, remainder of the nations, הַגּוֹיִ֖ם (hag·gō·w·yim) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts and against וְעַל־ (wə·‘al-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against all כֻּלָּ֑א (kul·lā) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every of Edom, אֱד֣וֹם (’ĕ·ḏō·wm) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_123.htm">Strong's 123: </a> The name of a condiment who אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that took נָתְנֽוּ־ (nā·ṯə·nū-) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set My land אַרְצִ֣י ׀ (’ar·ṣî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land as their own possession לְמ֨וֹרָשָׁ֜ה (lə·mō·w·rā·šāh) Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4181.htm">Strong's 4181: </a> A possession with wholehearted כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every joy בְּשִׂמְחַ֤ת (bə·śim·ḥaṯ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8057.htm">Strong's 8057: </a> Blithesomeness, glee and with utter contempt, בִּשְׁאָ֣ט (biš·’āṭ) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7589.htm">Strong's 7589: </a> Despite, contempt so that לְמַ֥עַן (lə·ma·‘an) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4616.htm">Strong's 4616: </a> Purpose -- intent its pastureland מִגְרָשָׁ֖הּ (miḡ·rā·šāh) Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4054.htm">Strong's 4054: </a> A suburb, the area around a, building, the margin of the sea became plunder.? לָבַֽז׃ (lā·ḇaz) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_957.htm">Strong's 957: </a> Spoiling, robbery, spoil, booty <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/36-5.htm">Ezekiel 36:5 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/36-5.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 36:5 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Surely (Ezek.
