Ezekiel 6:13
Context6:13 Then you will know that I am the Lord – when their dead lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and all the mountaintops, under every green tree and every leafy oak, 1 the places where they have offered fragrant incense to all their idols.
Ezekiel 21:7
Context21:7 When they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you will reply, ‘Because of the report that has come. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand will be limp; everyone 2 will faint and every knee will be wet with urine.’ 3 Pay attention – it is coming and it will happen, declares the sovereign Lord.”
1 sn By referring to every high hill…all the mountaintops…under every green tree and every leafy oak Ezekiel may be expanding on the phraseology of Deut 12:2 (see 1 Kgs 14:23; 2 Kgs 16:4; 17:10; Jer 2:20; 3:6, 13; 2 Chr 28:4).
2 tn Heb “every spirit will be dim.”
3 sn This expression depicts in a very vivid way how they will be overcome with fear. See the note on the same phrase in 7:17.
