Definitions for Ezekiel 16:46
Clarke's Ezekiel 16:46 Bible Commentary
Thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left - It is supposed that the prophet by Sodom in this place means the Israelites that dwelt beyond Jordan, in the land or the Moabites and Ammonites; or rather of the Moabites and Ammonites themselves. Literally, Sodom could not be called the younger sister of Jerusalem, as it existed before Jerusalem had a name. In looking east from Jerusalem, Samaria was on the left, and Sodom on the right hand; that is, the first was on the north, the second on the south of Jerusalem.
Barnes's Ezekiel 16:46 Bible Commentary
The temple looked to the east. Samaria was on its left, and Sodom on its right hand.
Wesley's Ezekiel 16:46 Bible Commentary
16:46 Thine elder sister - The greater for power, riches, and numbers of people. Her daughters - The lesser cities of the kingdom of Israel.Thy left hand - Northward as you look toward the east.Thy younger sister - Which was smaller and less populous.Thy right hand - Southward from Jerusalem.
