Ezra 9:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

An unclean land with the filthiness of the people: this notes the cause or matter of this uncleanness. The land was not unclean in itself, but only polluted by the filthiness of its inhabitants. Of the lands; or, of these lands which are round about it. This land is as corrupt as any of the rest of the heathen nations.

Ezra 9:11

11 Which thou hast commanded bye thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
