The Hebrew root for "declare" is "נָבָא" (naba), which means to prophesy or speak by divine inspiration. This highlights the authority and responsibility given to Ezekiel to convey God's message, underscoring the importance of obedience and faithfulness in delivering God's word.<p><b>this is what the Lord GOD says</b><br />The phrase asserts the divine origin of the message. "Lord GOD" in Hebrew is "אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה" (Adonai Yahweh), a title that combines God's sovereignty and covenantal relationship with His people. This emphasizes the seriousness and authority of the proclamation, reminding the audience of God's ultimate power and faithfulness.<p><b>Behold, I am against you</b><br />"Behold" (הִנֵּה, hinneh) is a call to attention, indicating the importance of what follows. "I am against you" is a direct statement of opposition from God, highlighting His active stance against Sidon. This reflects the seriousness of Sidon's actions and the certainty of divine judgment, serving as a warning to those who oppose God's will.<p><b>O Sidon</b><br />Sidon was an ancient Phoenician city known for its wealth and commerce. Historically, it was a center of idolatry and opposition to Israel. By addressing Sidon, God is targeting a specific nation known for its pride and rebellion, illustrating the broader theme of God's judgment against nations that defy Him.<p><b>and I will display My glory in your midst</b><br />The Hebrew word for "glory" is "כָּבוֹד" (kavod), which signifies weightiness, honor, and splendor. God's glory is His manifest presence and power. By displaying His glory in Sidon's midst, God intends to reveal His supremacy and righteousness, turning a place of rebellion into a stage for His divine majesty.<p><b>Then they will know that I am the LORD</b><br />This phrase is a recurring theme in Ezekiel, emphasizing the purpose of God's actions: to reveal His identity and sovereignty. The knowledge of the LORD (יְהוָה, Yahweh) is not just intellectual but relational, calling people to recognize and submit to His authority.<p><b>when I execute judgments against her</b><br />The term "execute judgments" (שָׁפַט, shaphat) involves the administration of justice. God's judgments are righteous and serve to correct and restore order. This underscores God's role as the just judge who holds nations accountable for their actions.<p><b>and demonstrate My holiness through her</b><br />"Holiness" (קֹדֶשׁ, qodesh) refers to God's set-apartness and moral perfection. By demonstrating His holiness through Sidon, God reveals His distinct nature and the moral standards He upholds. This serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the transformative power of God's holiness in the world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 22.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will be glorified in... thee</span>.
