1 Και εν τω εννατω ετει, τω δεκατω μηνι, τη δεκατη του μηνος, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

2 Υιε ανθρωπου, γραψον εις σεαυτον το ονομα της ημερας, αυτης ταυτης της ημερας· διοτι ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος παρεταχθη κατα της Ιερουσαλημ εν αυτη ταυτη τη ημερα.

3 Και προφερε παραβολην προς τον αποστατην οικον· και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Στησον τον λεβητα; στησον, και ετι χυσον υδωρ εις αυτον·

4 συναγαγε εις αυτον τα τμηματα αυτου, παν τμημα καλον, τον μηρον και τον ωμον· γεμισον αυτον απο των εκλεκτων οστεων.

5 Λαβε εκ των εκλεκτων του ποιμνιου και στιβασον ετι τα οστα κατω αυτου· βρασον αυτα καλως και ας εψηθωσι και αυτα τα οστα αυτου εν αυτω.

6 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ουαι εις την πολιν των αιματων, εις τον λεβητα, του οποιου η σκωρια ειναι εν αυτω και του οποιου η σκωρια δεν εξηλθεν απ' αυτου. Εκβαλε κατα σειραν τα τμηματα αυτης· κληρος ας μη πεση επ' αυτην.

7 Διοτι το αιμα αυτης ειναι εν μεσω αυτης· επι λειοπετραν εξεθεσεν αυτο· δεν εχυσεν αυτο επι την γην, ωστε να σκεπασθη με χωμα.

8 Δια να καμω να αναβη θυμος εις εκτελεσιν εκδικησεως, θελω εκθεσει το αιμα αυτης επι λειοπετραν, δια να μη σκεπασθη.

9 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ουαι εις την πολιν των αιματων· και εγω θελω μεγαλυνει την πυραν.

10 Επισωρευσον τα ξυλα, αναψον το πυρ, καταναλωσον τα κρεατα και διαλυσον αυτα, ας καωσι και τα οστα.

11 Τοτε στησον αυτον κενον επι τους ανθρακας αυτον, δια να πυρωθη ο χαλκος αυτου και να καη και να λυωση εν αυτω η ακαθαρσια αυτου, να καταναλωθη η σκωρια αυτου.

12 Ματαιως εδοκιμασθη με κοπους, και η μεγαλη αυτης σκωρια δεν εξηλθεν απ' αυτης, η σκωρια αυτης εν τω πυρι.

13 Εν τη ακαθαρσια σου υπαρχει μιαροτης· επειδη εγω σε εκαθαρισα και δεν εκαθαρισθης, δεν θελεις πλεον καθαρισθη απο της ακαθαρσιας σου, εωσου αναπαυσω τον θυμον μου επι σε.

14 Εγω ο Κυριος ελαλησα· θελει γεινει και θελω εκτελεσει αυτο· δεν θελω στραφη οπισω και δεν θελω φεισθη και δεν θελω μεταμεληθη· κατα τας οδους σου και κατα τας πραξεις σου θελουσι σε κρινει, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

15 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

16 Υιε ανθρωπου, ιδου, εγω θελω αφαιρεσει απο σου δια μιας πληγης το επιθυμημα των οφθαλμων σου· και μη πενθησης και μη κλαυσης και ας μη ρευσωσι τα δακρυα σου·

17 κρατηθητι απο στεναγμων, μη καμης πενθος νεκρων, δεσον την τιαραν σου επι την κεφαλην σου, και βαλε εις τους ποδας σου τα υποδηματα σου, και μη καλυψης τα χειλη σου, και αρτον ανδρων μη φαγης.

18 Και ελαλησα προς τον λαον το πρωι, και το εσπερας απεθανεν η γυνη μου· και εκαμον το πρωι ως προσεταχθην.

19 Και ειπεν ο λαος προς εμε, Δεν θελεις απαγγειλει προς υμας τι δηλουσιν εις υμας ταυτα, τα οποια καμνεις;

20 Και απεκριθην προς αυτους, λογος Κυριου εγεινε προς εμε λεγων,

21 Ειπε προς τον οικον Ισραηλ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, θελω βεβηλωσει τα αγια μου, το καυχημα της δυναμεως σας, τα επιθυμηματα των οφθαλμων σας και τα περιποθητα των ψυχων σας· και οι υιοι σας και αι θυγατερες σας, οσους αφηκατε, εν ρομφαια θελουσι πεσει.

22 Και θελετε καμει καθως εγω εκαμον· δεν θελετε καλυψει τα χειλη σας και αρτον ανδρων δεν θελετε φαγει.

23 Και αι τιαραι σας θελουσιν εισθαι επι των κεφαλων σας και τα υποδηματα σας εις τους ποδας σας· δεν θελετε πενθησει ουδε κλαυσει· αλλα θελετε λυωσει δια τας ανομιας σας και θελετε στεναξει ο εις προς τον αλλον.

24 Και ο Ιεζεκιηλ θελει εισθαι σημειον εις εσας· κατα παντα οσα εκαμε θελετε καμει· οταν τουτο ελθη, τοτε θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος.

25 Περι δε σου, υιε ανθρωπου, εν εκεινη τη ημερα, οταν αφαιρεσω απ' αυτων την ισχυν αυτων, την χαραν της δοξης αυτων, τα επιθυμηματα των οφθαλμων αυτων και το θαρρος των ψυχων αυτων, τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων,

26 εν τη ημερα εκεινη ο διασωθεις δεν θελει ελθει προς σε, δια να αναγγειλη ταυτα εις τα ωτα σου;

27 Εν εκεινη τη ημερα το στομα σου θελει ανοιχθη προς τον διασωθεντα και θελεις λαλησει και δεν θελεις εισθαι πλεον αλαλος· και θελεις εισθαι εις αυτους σημειον· και θελουσι γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

7673. 'Stretch out your hand' means an exercising of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'stretching out' as that which is connected with the exercising of control, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6292, 6947, 7011, 7188, 7189, 7518. The reason why 'stretching out the hand' means the exercising of power is that there is power in the hand or arm when it is stretched out. When therefore Jehovah is said to stretch out His hand or arm, boundless or infinite power in action is meant. This explains why Jehovah told Moses on so many occasions, when miracles were to be performed, to stretch out his hand or his rod; for example,

Stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, and they will be blood. Exodus 7:19.

Stretch out your hand over the rivers, and cause frogs to rise up. Exodus 8:1-2. 1

Stretch out your rod and strike the dust of the land, and it will then be lice. Exodus 8:11, 12. 2

Stretch out your hand towards heaven, and there will be hail. Exodus 9:22-23.

Such words would never have been used but for the meaning of 'stretching out the hand' in the highest sense as Jehovah's almighty power.

[2] The same thing is meant by Joshua's being told to stretch out his javelin, described in his book as follows,

Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand towards Ai. When therefore Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand towards Ai, the ambush rose up quickly out of their place and ran, as soon as he stretched out his hand, and came to the city and took it. Joshua did not withdraw his hand which he had stretched out together with the javelin until all the inhabitants of Ai had been utterly destroyed. Joshua 8:18-19, 26.

Being representative of God's almighty power, this too, like all other representative actions when they were commanded in those times, had force.

[3] There are a number of other places in which almighty power is described when it says that Jehovah 'stretches out His hand', or else His 'outstretched hand' or His 'outstretched arm' is spoken of. It is described by Jehovah stretching out His hand in Isaiah,

The anger [of Jehovah] has been roused against His people, and He has stretched out His hand over them and struck them, and the mountains were shaken. Isaiah 5:25.

In Ezekiel,

I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him. Ezekiel 14:9, 13.

In the same prophet,

I will stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations. Ezekiel 25:7.

I will stretch out My hand over Edom, and cut off from it man and beast. I will stretch out My hand over the philistines, and cut off . . . Ezekiel 25:13, 16.

Other places like these are Ezekiel 35:3; Isaiah 31:3; Zephaniah 1:4; 2:13. The use of 'outstretched hand' to describe almighty power occurs in Isaiah,

Jehovah's outstretched hand is over all the nations; who will turn it back? Isaiah 14:26, 27.

In Jeremiah,

I will fight with you with an outstretched hand and a strong arm, and in anger and in fury. Jeremiah 21:5.

In Isaiah,

Still His hand is outstretched. Isaiah 9:12, 17; 10:4.

The use of 'outstretched arm' occurs in Jeremiah,

I have made the earth, man, and beast by My great strength and by My outstretched arm. Jeremiah 27:5.

In the same prophet,

You have made heaven and earth by Your great power and Your outstretched arm; there is no matter 3 that is too impossible for You. Jeremiah 32:17.

Here it is self-evident that 'outstretched arm' means almighty power. The same applies to many other places in which the expression 'by a strong hand and an outstretched arm' is used, such as Deuteronomy 4:34; 5:15; 7:19; 9:29; 11:2; 26:8; 1 Kings 8:42; 2 Kings 17:36; Jeremiah 32:21; Ezekiel 20:33, 34.

[4] There are places too in which Jehovah is said to 'stretch out the heavens', and in these places also 'stretching out' means almighty power; that is to say, He expands the limits of heaven and fills those who are there with life and wisdom, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens like a thin veil, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Isaiah 40:22.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens, spreads out the earth, gives breath 4 to His people upon it, and spirit to those who walk on it. Isaiah 42:5.

In Jeremiah,

. . . He who makes the earth by His power, prepares the world by His wisdom, and stretches out the heavens by His intelligence. Jeremiah 51:15.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens, and founds the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. Zechariah 12:1.

There are still more places besides these, such as Isaiah 44:24; 45:12; Psalms 104:2.

From all this one may now see why Moses was commanded to stretch out his hand and rod, that miracles were performed when he did so, and that 'stretching out the hand' for that reason means the exercising of power, and in the highest sense almighty power.
