Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 6

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. To whom is the prophecy in Ezekiel 6 addressed?
  2. The possessive is used in Ezekiel 6:4 for altars, incense stands, and other execrable objects. Are they actually possessions of the hills and the valleys?
  3. Is the denunciation in these verses (Ezekiel 6:5-7) for interpersonal/social transgression or violations of worship patterns (or both)?
  4. In Ezekiel 6:9, what is the prediction for the remnant which will not be destroyed?
  5. In Ezekiel 6:10, how is the destruction considered “educational” or, in the final analysis, to have a “positive result”?
  6. But, in Ezekiel 6:11-14, is this “hopeful note” accentuated or is there a return to punishment without relief?
  7. And, in Ezekiel 6:14, is the destruction to be visited on the people alone or on the land as well?
