References for Eze 5:3 —  1   2 

Ezek. 5:1–4 razor. Priests were not to shave off their hair (44:20; see also Lev. 21:5), so shaving his head and beard shamed and defiled Ezekiel.

Ezek. 5:5–17 These verses comment on Ezekiel’s dramatic presentation of prophecy (4:1–5:4).

Ezek. 5:8–10 eat their sons. This gruesome prospect sometimes became a reality during siege warfare (see Lam. 4:10). This was one of God’s judgments for breaking the covenant (Deut. 28:49–57).

Ezek. 5:11 Deuteronomy often uses the phrase “eye not pitying” to describe the attitude that the Israelites must have in order to carry out stern judgment when issues of purity or loyalty are at stake (e.g., Deut. 13:8; 19:13). The same Hebrew is used here for God’s eye that will not spare his own sinful people.
