To express this justice, that is acceptable to God and men.

Wesley: Eze 24:10 - The bones

The greatest, strongest, and firmest of the Jews shall perish in this fiery indignation.

JFB: Eze 24:10 - spice it well

That the meat may be the more palatable, that is, I will make the foe delight in its destruction as much as one delights in well-seasoned, savory meat. GROTIUS, needlessly departing from the obvious sense, translates, "Let it be boiled down to a compound."

Clarke: Eze 24:10 - Heap or wood

Heap or wood - Let the siege be severe, the carnage great, and the ruin and catastrophe complete.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 24:10 - Kindle the fire // Compare the flesh // Spice it well // Let the bones be burned

This is God’ s word, either what he will do pursuant of the 8th verse; or his word to the prophet, to typify to the people what should be done, or to the Chaldean army, to hasten what they were to do in destroying the city. Heap on wood; make full preparations.

Kindle the fire begin the execution of judgment.

Compare the flesh: it is a fire, not gently to dress or prepare meat, but to destroy, and burn up.

Spice it well either to take away the noisome smell, or to express the pleasing savour of this justice to God, and men whom he appointed to this work.

Let the bones be burned: in such fires the bones hold out longest, but this fire shall at last consume these also, that the destruction may be universal the greatest, strongest, and firmest of these Jews shall perish in this fiery indignation.

Haydock: Eze 24:10 - And the

And the. Hebrew, "put in the seasoning and the bones," &c.

Gill: Eze 24:10 - Heap on wood, kindle the fire // consume the flesh // spice it well // and let the bones be burnt

Heap on wood, kindle the fire,.... This is said either to the prophet, to do this in an emblematic way; or to the Chaldean army, to prepare for the siege, encompass the city, begin their attacks, and throw in their stones out of their slings and engines, and arrows from their bows:

consume the flesh; not entirely, since it is afterwards to be spiced; but thoroughly boil it; denoting the severe sufferings the inhabitants should undergo before their utter ruin:

spice it well; pepper them off; batter their walls, beat down their houses, distress them by all manner of ways and means; signifying that this would be grateful to the Lord, as his justice would be glorified in the destruction of this people; and as the plunder of them would be like a spiced and sweet morsel to the enemy; whose appetites would hereby be sharpened and become keen, and to whom the sacking and plundering the city would be as agreeable as well seasoned meat to a hungry man:

and let the bones be burnt; either under it, or rather in it; even the strongest and most powerful among the people destroyed, who should hold out the longest in the siege. The Targum of the whole is,

"multiply kings; gather an army; order the auxiliaries, and prepare against her warriors, and let her mighty ones be confounded.''
