Ezequiel 38:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 38:6

Gomer, and all his bands
Or all his army, as the Targum. Gomer was the eldest son of Japheth, ( Genesis 10:2 ) , from whom descended the people called by the Greeks Galatians, or Galio-Grecians, as Josephus


FOOTNOTES:

F9 says, who before were from him called Gomarians: others think that Phrygia, and the inhabitants of it, are meant; but, whether one or the other, they were both people of the lesser Asia, which is now in the hands of the Turks: the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands;
Togarmah was one of the sons of Gomer, ( Genesis 10:3 ) whose posterity, according to the Greeks, as Josephus F11 says, were the Phrygians; but others rather think the Cappadocians descended from him; and that Togarmah designs their country, which also is a part of the Turkish dominions; (See Gill on Ezekiel 27:14). Several moderns, as Calmet F12 observes, believe that the children of Togarmah peopled Turcomania in Tartary, and Scythia, and which he approves of; and the Turks are mentioned by Ben Gorion F13 as one of the ten families of Togarmah. The Targum renders it here the province of Germany; as it is also interpreted in the Talmud F14, but wrongly: and many people with thee;
from other places and nations, besides those named; especially out of the lesser Asia, as Pamphylia, Cilicia, and other places; and perhaps from Tartary, and elsewhere,

Ezequiel 38:6 In-Context

4 Te haré volver, te pondré garfios en la boca y te sacaré con todo tu ejército, caballos y jinetes. Todos ellos están bien armados; son una multitud enorme, con escudos y broqueles; todos ellos empuñan la espada.
5 Con ellos están Persia, Etiopía y Fut, todos ellos armados con escudos y yelmos.
6 Gómer también está allí, con todas sus tropas, y también Bet Togarma, desde el lejano norte, con todas sus tropas y muchos ejércitos que son tus aliados.
7 »”Prepárate, manténte alerta, tú y toda la multitud que está reunida a tu alrededor; ponlos bajo tu mando.
8 Al cabo de muchos días se te encomendará una misión. Después de muchos años invadirás un país que se ha recuperado de la guerra, una nación que durante mucho tiempo estuvo en ruinas, pero que ha sido reunido de entre los muchos pueblos en los montes de Israel. Ha sido sacado de entre las naciones, y ahora vive confiado.
