Ezekiel 35— Hebrew word study · with the Hebrew tradition

How to read a word below: the Hebrewword, then how it sounds, then what it means, then its number in Strong’s concordance, a widely used lookup this site follows (H for Hebrew and Aramaic, G for Greek). Square brackets hold a word the English supplies that the Hebrew does not, angle brackets mark the Hebrew’s own grammatical elements that English renders as separate words, and the mark ס or פ is where the Hebrew manuscripts end a paragraph.

Rashi on Ezekiel 35:14

RashiFrance, 1040–1105· Commentary

When the whole earth rejoices when I claim My kingdom, for then the whole earth will rejoice, as the idea is stated (Ps.:1): “The Lord has reigned; the earth will exult.” Then I will make you a desolation.

Read in synagogue

Where Ezekiel 35 falls in the yearly cycle of readings, and what is done when it is read.

The yearly cycle does not read Ezekiel 35. The Haftarah is drawn from the Prophets a passage at a time rather than continuously, so most chapters of most prophetic books are never read in the service, and this is one of them.

The verse numbers here are the ones a Hebrew Bible carries, which differ from an English Bible by a verse or two in several places. The Sephardi reading is named only where this site records a difference; communities vary beyond what is listed. What these books are, and how a Christian reader meets them →
