Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 35

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. To what country does “Har Seir” refer?
  2. Why will God “punish” this group (Ezekiel 35:15)?
  3. What retribution is described in Ezekiel 35:11-15?
  4. Does Ezekiel 35 affirm that, while Israel deserved its destruction, those who were “joyed” by it will, themselves, share in the destruction (Ezekiel 35:15)?
  5. How does this relate to the passage in “Chapters of the Fathers” — when your enemy is fallen be not overjoyed”?
