以西結書 31:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:5

Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the
field
His majesty, grandeur, and glory, were advanced above all princes, nobles, and people; all ranks and degrees of men, let them be compared to trees taller or lower: and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long;
the provinces of his empire became more numerous, and were spread far and near, and reached to distant countries: because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth;
either the vast number of people, which were daily increasing, and were sent out to people distant colonies, newly subdued or planted; or because of the great traffic which was carried on in different parts, and the advantages arising from it. The Targum is,

``therefore he was lifted up in his strength above all the kings of the earth, and his army was multiplied, and his auxiliaries prevailed over many people, through his victories''

以西結書 31:5 In-Context

3 亞 述 王 曾 如 利 巴 嫩 中 的 香 柏 樹 , 枝 條 榮 美 , 影 密 如 林 , 極 其 高 大 , 樹 尖 插 入 雲 中 。
4 眾 水 使 他 生 長 ; 深 水 使 他 長 大 。 所 栽 之 地 有 江 河 圍 流 , 汊 出 的 水 道 延 到 田 野 諸 樹 。
5 所 以 他 高 大 超 過 田 野 諸 樹 ; 發 旺 的 時 候 , 枝 子 繁 多 , 因 得 大 水 之 力 枝 條 長 長 。
6 空 中 的 飛 鳥 都 在 枝 子 上 搭 窩 ; 田 野 的 走 獸 都 在 枝 條 下 生 子 ; 所 有 大 國 的 人 民 都 在 他 蔭 下 居 住 。
7 樹 大 條 長 , 成 為 榮 美 , 因 為 根 在 眾 水 之 旁 。
