Ezekiel 11:16 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Say — In vindication of them. Although — The obstinate Jews at Jerusalem will call them apostates; but I the Lord sent them thither, and will own them there. Scattered — Dispersed them in many countries which are under the king of Babylon: yet they are dear to me. A little sanctuary — A little one in opposition to that great temple at Jerusalem. To him they shall flee, and in him they shall be safe, as he was that took hold on the horns of the altar. And they shall have such communion with God in the land of their captivity, as it was thought could be had no where but in the temple.

Ezekiel 11:16

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
