Ezequiel 31:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:7

Thus was he fair in his greatness
Amiable, lovely, delightful to look upon in the greatness of his majesty, in his royal glory and dignity: in the length of his branches;
in the extent of his empire, and the provinces of it: for his root was by great waters;
his kingdom was well established, firmly rooted among a multitude of people; from whom he had a large revenue to support his throne and government, and the dignity of it; by tribute, taxes, customs, and presents; and through the large trade and traffic of his subjects in different parts, from whence he received great profit and advantage. The Targum is,

``and he became victorious by his auxiliaries, by the multitude of his mighty ones, so that his terror was upon many people.''

Ezequiel 31:7 In-Context

5 Por isso se elevou a sua estatura sobre todas as árvores do campo, e se multiplicaram os seus ramos, e se alongaram as suas varas, por causa das muitas águas nas suas raizes.

6 Todas as aves do céu se aninhavam nos seus ramos; e todos os animais do campo geravam debaixo dos seus ramos; e � sua sombra habitavam todos os grandes povos.

7 Assim era ele formoso na sua grandeza, na extensão dos seus ramos, porque a sua raiz estava junto �s muitas águas.

8 Os cedros no jardim de Deus não o podiam esconder; as faias não igualavam os seus ramos, e os plátanos não eram como as suas varas; nenhuma árvore no jardim de Deus se assemelhava a ele na sua formosura.

9 Formoso o fiz pela abundância dos seus ramos; de modo que tiveram inveja dele todas as árvores do Edem que havia no jardim de Deus.
