The Context of Ezekiel 35:7
God will make Mount Seir desolate and cut off travelers and those attempting to return.
What Does Ezekiel 35:7 Mean?
Making Mount Seir most desolate moves beyond the destruction of cities to the destruction of the land's viability. Cutting off the passer-by and the returner means no one—neither foreigner passing through nor refugee attempting to return—will escape judgment.
This isolates Mount Seir from the world: no safe passage, no escape route, no restoration. The completeness of desolation leaves no room for survival or recovery.
