Ezekiel 16:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:13

Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver
The Targum interprets it of the tabernacle adorned with gold and silver, and linen curtains, of various dies and colours; but it refers to the ornaments, bracelets, chain, earrings, and crown before, mentioned; see ( Psalms 45:9 Psalms 45:13 ) ; and thy raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 16:10); with this compare ( Revelation 19:8 ) ; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil;
which did not a little contribute to her beauty and comeliness; see ( Daniel 1:15 ) ; this the Targum explains of the manna with which the Lord fed the Israelites in the wilderness, and was good, like fine flour, and honey, and oil; and had, as Jarchi says, the taste of them all: but may be better applied to spiritual provisions believers are fed with; to the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, which are as nourishing and strengthening as bread of fine flour; as sweet as honey to the taste; and which make fat and plump, and cause the face to shine as oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a
kingdom;
the Targum is,

``and ye became rich, and were greatly strengthened, and prospered, and ruled over all kingdoms;''
and had its accomplishment, as Kimchi observes, when the time of the kingdom of the house of David came: land is true of all believers, who are a kingdom of priests, a royal priesthood, kings and priests unto God; have a kingdom of grace; now, which can never be moved, and lies in righteousness, peace, and joy, in the Holy Ghost; and are heirs of a kingdom of glory hereafter.

Ezekiel 16:13 In-Context

11 I adorned you with jewelry, putting bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
12 I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful tiara on your head.
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was [made] of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became extremely beautiful and attained royalty.
14 Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor, which I had bestowed on you." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God .
15 "But you were confident in your beauty and acted like a prostitute because of your fame. You lavished your sexual favors on everyone who passed by. Your beauty became his.
