Ezequiel 24:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:4

Gather the pieces thereof into it
fire being made, and the pot set on, and water poured into it, the next thing is, to put in the pieces that are to be boiled; and these are to be gathered; meaning the people of the land, that were to be gathered from the several parts of it, for their security, as they thought; but the event proved it was for their ruin: even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder;
the princes and gentry, the great and the mighty, the rich and wealthy of the people; who, upon the invasion, got together in Jerusalem, to secure their persons and substance: fill it with the choice bones;
or with those pieces that have the choice bones, that are full of marrow; the strongest among the people; the soldiers, or such as were fit for war; the best of their militia, brought hither to defend the city; but, in fact, to be slain, as they were. The Targum is,

``gather the princes thereof into the midst of her, every terrible man and warrior; fill her with the army of the people.''

Ezequiel 24:4 In-Context

3 E propùe � casa rebelde uma alegoria, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Põe a caldeira ao lume, põe-na, e deita-lhe água dentro;

4 mete nela os pedaços de carne, todos os bons pedaços, a coxa e a espádua; enche-a de ossos escolhidos.

5 Escolhe o melhor do rebanho, ajunta um montão de lenha debaixo da caldeira dos ossos; faze-a ferver bem, e cozam-se dentro dela os seus ossos.

6 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ai da cidade sanguinária, da caldeira, que está enferrujada por dentro, e cuja ferrugem não saiu dela! tira dela a carne pedaço por pedaço; não caiu sorte sobre ela;
