“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
Mount Seir was mentioned as partner with Moab in one of the threatenings we had before (Eze 25:8); but here it is convicted and condemned by itself, and has woes of its own. The prophet must boldly set his face against Edom, and prophesy particularly against it; for the God of Israel has said, O Mount Seir! I am against thee.
Commenting on Ezekiel 35:1-9
Son of man set thy face against Mount Seir,.... Which had its name from Seir the Horite, who first possessed it; and was succeeded in it by Esau and his posterity, the Edomites; see Gen 36:8, Deu 2:12, so that the country of Edom or Idumea is here intended, and the inhabitants of it; who are put for the enemies of the church and people...
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, (a) Where the Idumeans dwelt.
