References for Eze 35:1 —  1   2   3   4 

Ezek. 35:1–36:15 Ezekiel now turns his focus to Mount Seir (ch. 35) and the mountains of Israel (36:1–15). The prophecies against Mount Seir should be read as a preface to the address to the mountains of Israel.

Ezek. 35:1–15 Mount Seir (v. 2) is identified with Edom (v. 15) much as Mount Zion is identified with Judah. An oracle against Edom appears in 25:12–14 (see note there), and its theme is echoed here. Compare also the book of Obadiah.

Ezek. 35:1–4 The first oracle is little more than an announcement of God’s opposition to Mount Seir and his intention to destroy it. “Mount Seir” was the highland region southeast of the Dead Sea.

Ezek. 35:5–9 Edom is treated here much as Israel was in ch. 6.

Ezek. 35:10–12a Edom’s land-grab is condemned. Two nations refers to Israel and Judah as separate kingdoms (see 37:15–28). Just as Edom treated Israel and Judah poorly, so it will be treated.
