What Does This Mean?

In this verse, God tells Ezekiel to speak against Mount Seir, a place that represents the land of Edom. God is using Ezekiel to deliver a message of judgment to the Edomites.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have a friend who is always mean to you and your other friends. One day, your mom tells you to look at your mean friend and tell them that their behavior is wrong and that there will be consequences. That's what God is asking Ezekiel to do with Mount Seir.

Historical Background

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this book around 593-571 BCE, during the Babylonian exile. God uses Ezekiel to prophesy to the Israelites and their neighbors, including the Edomites, about the consequences of their actions.

Living It Out Today

Just as Ezekiel was told to confront Mount Seir, we sometimes have to address problematic behavior in our lives. For example, if a friend is spreading rumors about others, it might be necessary to confront them and explain the harm their actions are causing.
