Hesekiel 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.''

Hesekiel 31:7 In-Context

5 Darum wurde sein Wuchs höher als alle BĂ€ume des Feldes und seine Zweige wurden groß und seine Äste lang von den vielen Wassern, als er sich ausbreitete.
6 Alle Vögel des Himmels nisteten in seinen Zweigen, und alle Tiere des Feldes gebaren unter seinen Ästen; und in seinem Schatten wohnten alle großen Nationen.
7 Und er war schön in seiner GrĂ¶ĂŸe und in der LĂ€nge seiner SchĂ¶ĂŸlinge; denn seine Wurzeln waren an vielen Wassern.
8 Die Zedern im Garten Gottes verdunkelten ihn nicht, Zypressen kamen seinen Zweigen nicht gleich, und Platanen waren nicht wie seine Äste; kein Baum im Garten Gottes kam ihm an Schönheit gleich.
9 Ich hatte ihn schön gemacht in der Menge seiner SchĂ¶ĂŸlinge; und es beneideten ihn alle BĂ€ume Edens, die im Garten Gottes waren.
