Ezequiel 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''

Ezequiel 31:5 In-Context

3 Fíjate en Asiria,que alguna vez fue cedro del Líbano,con bello y frondoso ramaje;su copa llegaba hasta las nubes.

4 Las aguas lo hicieron crecer;las corrientes profundas lo nutrieron.Sus ríos corrían en torno a sus raíces;sus acequias regaban todos los árboles del campo.

5 Así el cedro creciómás alto que todos los árboles.Gracias a las abundantes aguas,se extendió su frondoso ramaje.

6 Todas las aves del cieloanidaban en sus ramas.Todas las bestias del campoparían bajo su follaje.Todas las nacionesvivían bajo su sombra.

7 Era un árbol imponente y majestuoso,de ramas extendidas;sus raíces se hundíanhasta las aguas caudalosas.
