Ezekiel 39:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:19

And ye shall eat fat till ye be full
The fat of men; and such as before described generally are fat, and of which they shall have enough; and, though voracious creatures, shall eat to satiety: and drink blood till ye be drunken;
as men are with wine, who become mad with it; and so birds and beasts of prey grow fiercer by drinking blood: the meaning is, they should have their fill of the flesh, fat, and blood, of slain men: of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you;
the Targum is,

``of the flesh of the slain, which I have slain for you;''

(See Gill on Ezekiel 39:17).

Ezekiel 39:19 In-Context

17 And you, human one, the LORD God proclaims: Say to the birds of prey, to every kind of bird and every wild animal: Assemble and come! Come together from all around for the sacrifice that I make for you, a great sacrifice on Israel's mountains! You will eat flesh and drink blood.

18 You will eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth: rams, lambs, goats, bulls, all fattened animals from Bashan.

19 Gorge yourselves on their fat, and get drunk on their blood, from the sacrifice that I have made for you.

20 Satisfy yourselves at my table with horses and riders, mighty men and every warrior. This is what the LORD God says!

21 When I glorify myself among the nations, all the nations will understand the judgments that I executed and the power that I used among them.
