18:10 “Suppose such a man has a violent son who sheds blood and does any of these things mentioned previously

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

JFB: Eze 18:10-13

The second case is that of an impious son of a pious father. His pious parentage, so far from excusing, aggravates his guilt.

JFB: Eze 18:10-13 - robber

Or literally, "a breaker," namely, through all constraints of right.

JFB: Eze 18:10-13 - doeth the like to any one

The Hebrew and the parallel (Eze 18:18) require us to translate rather, "doeth to his brother any of these things," namely, the things which follow in Eze 18:11, &c. [MAURER].

Clarke: Eze 18:10 - If he beget a son

If he beget a son - Who is the reverse of the above righteous character, according to the thirteen articles already specified and explained.

Calvin: Eze 18:10 - He has oppressed the poor and needy

He has oppressed the poor and needy: he had simply said, He has oppressed a man; but now to make the greatness of the crime appear, he speaks of the poor and needy: for cruelty in oppressing them is less tolerable. Whatever the condition of the person whom we treat, with injustice, our wickedness is in itself sufficiently worthy of condemnation; but when we afflict the wretched, whose condition ought to excite our pity, that, inhumanity is, as I have said, far more atrocious. Hence this circumstance exaggerates what Ezekiel had formerly simply expressed. In the phrase for seizing booty, the word for booty is in the plural: in the next phrase he omits the word for debtor, because it is sufficiently understood: in the next, he does not add “of the house of Israel” to the word “idols;” and in the last clause the word “abomination” seems to refer to one kind of grossness only: but if any wish to extend its meaning further, I do not, object; but since he lately used the word in the plural, I rather take this word in its restricted sense. I pass thus rapidly over this second example, as I shall over the third, because Ezekiel preserves the same sentiments, and repeats almost the same words as he had just used. Hitherto he has taught that life is laid up for all the just as the reward of their justice: but he now sets before us a degenerate son, sprung from a just father, running headlong into all kind of wickedness. He says, then, if a man who desires to obey the law beget a son of a perverse disposition, who rejects the discipline of his father, and at the same time violates the whole law of God, shall he surely live? No, says he, he shall die, his blood shall be upon him; that is, he cannot escape God’s judgment;, because his crimes cry out, and are heard. Hence none who turn aside from the right way shall remain unpunished: this is the simple meaning of the Prophet. Let us now come to the third member.

TSK: Eze 18:10 - that is // a robber // a shedder // the like to any one of these things

that is : Lev 19:13; Mal 3:8, Mal 3:9; Joh 18:40

a robber : or, a breaker up of an house, Exo 22:2

a shedder : Gen 9:5, Gen 9:6; Exo 21:12; Num 35:31; 1Jo 3:12

the like to any one of these things : or, to his brother besides any of these

Poole: Eze 18:10 - If he beget a son // That is a robber // A shedder of blood // That doeth the like // To any one of these things

If he beget a son the just man before described, who transmits his nature, but cannot transmit his virtues, to his son.

That is a robber that by force and violence breaks over the law of God and man, takes away what is another man’ s; such a thief as sticks not to destroy that he may rob.

A shedder of blood that is, a murderer; for shedding of blood here is not less than murder, as by the phrase, Gen 9:6 Deu 21:7 1Sa 25:33 Psa 79:10 .

That doeth the like the thing that is brother to one of these, as the Hebrew may bear; there are things like these, which destroy either the life or estates of our neighbour; for there are many methods and artifices which such violent ones use.

To any one of these things it might seem to speak one such single act unpardonable; but I refer this text to that, Gen 9:6 Num 35:31 . The law doth condemn such to death; man must not, though God may, pardon such a one.

Haydock: Eze 18:10 - Robber

Robber. Hebrew, "breaker;" rude and lawless. Septuagint, "pestilent."

Gill: Eze 18:10 - If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood // and that doeth the like to any one of these things

If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood,.... But if this just man beget a son that is a thief and a murderer, as he may; for grace is not conveyed by natural generation, though sin is: a good man has often bad children, even such as are guilty of capital crimes, as a "robber", a "highwayman", a "breaker up", or "through", as the word ^e signifies; one that breaks through walls, and into houses, and breaks through all the laws of God and man; and sticks not to shed innocent blood in committing his thefts and robberies, as these sins often go together; such an one was Barabbas, whose name signifies the son of a father, and perhaps his father might be a good man:

and that doeth the like to any one of these things; or that does anyone of these things, whether theft or murder.
