Ezequiel 31:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 31:6

All the fowls of the heavens made their nests in his boughs,
&c.] People from all parts of the world, under the whole heavens, flocked to his dominions, and settled themselves in one province or another; promising themselves protection, prosperity, and peace under his government: and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth
their young;
even people of a more savage disposition, being either conquered by him, and placed in his provinces; or coming thither of their own accord, took up their residence there, built houses, planted vineyards, married wives, begat children, and settled their families there: and under his shadow dwelt all great nations;
under his protection, care, and government, many large kingdoms and states were; yea, all were either subject to him, or sought to be his friends and allies: this explains the above figurative expressions. The Targum is,

``by his army he subdued all the strong towers; and under his governors he subjected all the provinces of the earth; and in the shadow of his kingdom dwelt all the numerous people.''

Ezequiel 31:6 In-Context

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.

8 Ningún cedro en el jardín de Diosse le podía comparar;ningún pino ostentaba un follaje parecido,ni tenían su fronda los castaños.Ningún árbol del jardín de Diosse le comparaba en hermosura.
