Ezekiel 20:45

Ezekiel 20:45

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

In the Hebrew the verses that follow form the opening of the next chapter. The Authorized Version follows the LXX; the Vulgate, and Luther. The section has clearly no connection with what has preceded, and, though fragmentary in its character, seems by the words, "set thy face," to connect itself with , and to lead up to it.

The words of verse 45 imply, as always, an interval of silence and repose.
