ezekiel 24:7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

ezekiel 24:7 "For her blood is in her midst; She placed it on the bare rock; She did not pour it on the ground To cover it with dust.

7. upon the top of a rock--or, "the dry, bare, exposed rock," so as to be conspicuous to all. Blood poured on a rock is not so soon absorbed as blood poured on the earth. The law ordered the blood even of a beast or fowl to be "covered with the dust" (Le 17:13); but Jerusalem was so shameless as to be at no pains to cover up the blood of innocent men slain in her. Blood, as the consummation of all sin, presupposes every other form of guilt.

ezekiel 24:7 "For her blood is in her midst; She placed it on the bare rock; She did not pour it on the ground To cover it with dust.
