Ezekiel 16:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 16:11

9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of¹ badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I adorned you with ornaments, ^aput bracelets on your wrists, ^band a chain on your neck.

12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. ^aYou ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly ^bbeautiful, and succeeded to royalty.

14 ^aYour fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.

15 ^a“But you trusted in your own beauty, ^bplayed the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.

No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Ezekiel 16:11.

Ezekiel 16:4-14

This is what God did for physical Israel.

However, on the other side of the covenant, the bride was not to be trusted to remain faithful to Him.

The chapter then goes on in detail to number all the acts of harlotry and adultery there were caused against a faithful God by faithless people, by His physical bride in the nation of Israel, those that He had called out and set apart. This is a very stern example to us that we should be mindful of as we are here to be trained to be the spiritual bride of Christ.
