31. through the fire —As "the fire" is omitted in :- , FAIRBAIRN represents the generation here referred to (namely, that of Ezekiel's day) as attaining the climax of guilt (see on :- ), in making their children pass through the fire, which that former generation did not. The reason, however, for the omission of "the fire" in :- is, perhaps, that there it is implied the children only " passed through the fire" for purification, whereas here they are actually burnt to death before the idol; and therefore "the fire" is specified in the latter, not in the former case (compare 2 Kings 3:27 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-32" class="com-number"
