Ezechiele 38:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 38:6

Gomer, and all his bands
Or all his army, as the Targum. Gomer was the eldest son of Japheth, ( Genesis 10:2 ) , from whom descended the people called by the Greeks Galatians, or Galio-Grecians, as Josephus

FOOTNOTES:

F9 says, who before were from him called Gomarians: others think that Phrygia, and the inhabitants of it, are meant; but, whether one or the other, they were both people of the lesser Asia, which is now in the hands of the Turks: the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands;
Togarmah was one of the sons of Gomer, ( Genesis 10:3 ) whose posterity, according to the Greeks, as Josephus ^F11 says, were the Phrygians; but others rather think the Cappadocians descended from him; and that Togarmah designs their country, which also is a part of the Turkish dominions; (See Gill on Ezekiel 27:14). Several moderns, as Calmet ^F12 observes, believe that the children of Togarmah peopled Turcomania in Tartary, and Scythia, and which he approves of; and the Turks are mentioned by Ben Gorion ^F13 as one of the ten families of Togarmah. The Targum renders it here the province of Germany; as it is also interpreted in the Talmud ^F14, but wrongly: and many people with thee;
from other places and nations, besides those named; especially out of the lesser Asia, as Pamphylia, Cilicia, and other places; and perhaps from Tartary, and elsewhere,

Ezechiele 38:6 In-Context

4 E ti farò tornare indietro, e ti metterò de’ graffi nelle mascelle, e ti trarrò fuori, con tutto il tuo esercito, cavalli, e cavalieri, tutti quanti perfettamente ben vestiti, gran raunata di popolo, con targhe, e scudi, i quali trattano le spade tutti quanti.

5 E con loro le gente di Persia, di Cus, e di Put, tutti con iscudi, ed elmi;

6 Gomer, e tutte le sue schiere; la casa di Togarma, dal fondo del Settentrione, insieme con tutte le sue schiere; molti popoli teco.

7 Mettiti in ordine, ed apparecchiati, tu, e tutta la tua gente, che si è radunata appresso di te; e sii loro per salvaguardia.

8 Tu sarai visitato dopo molti giorni; in su la fin degli anni tu verrai nel paese del popolo riscosso dalla spada, e raccolto da molti popoli, ne’ monti d’Israele, i quali erano stati ridotti in deserto perpetuo; allora che il popolo di quel paese, essendo stato ritratto d’infra i popoli, abiterà tutto in sicurtà.
