Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) I will cleanse . . .--The LXX. translate this sentence, "I will avenge their blood, and not leave it unavenged"--i.e., the "innocent blood" mentioned in Joel 3:19; but the promise seems rather to indicate, as in the English Version, the extension of God's pardon to those hitherto unpardoned.The Lord dwelleth in Zion--i.e., over a raging and swelling world, probably unconscious of Him, the Lord nevertheless reigns in the heavenly Jerusalem, and all His redeemed shall dwell securely under His eternal rule. "And the name of the city from that day shall be Jehovah Shammah, the LORD IS THERE (Ezekiel 48:35).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewFor I will acquitוְנִקֵּ֖יתִי (wə·niq·qê·ṯî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 5352: To be, clean, to be bare, extirpatedtheir bloodguiltדָּמָ֣ם (dā·mām)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 1818: Blood, of man, an animal, the juice of the grape, bloodshedwhich I have not yetלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noacquitted.”נִקֵּ֑יתִי (niq·qê·ṯî)Verb - Piel - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 5352: To be, clean, to be bare, extirpatedFor the LORDוַֽיהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israeldwellsשֹׁכֵ֥ן (šō·ḵên)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 7931: To settle down, abide, dwellin Zion.בְּצִיּֽוֹן׃ (bə·ṣî·yō·wn)Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 6726: Zion -- a mountain in Jerusalem, also a name for JerusalemJump to PreviousAvenge Avenged Blood Bloodguilt Cleanse Cleansed Clear Declare Declared Dwelleth Dwelling Dwells Guilty Held Hold Innocent Pardon Pardoned Punishment Purge Purged Zion
