Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

Ezekiel 33:5

He heard the sound of the trumpet and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. The picture is taken from the sacrificial rites of the Jews, who transferred their own guilt to the head of animals used in sacrificing, by the laying on of hands with prayer. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul, or, "since, by taking warning, he would cause his life to escape. "
