Ezequiel 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.''

Ezequiel 31:7 In-Context

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.

9 Yo lo hice belloy con un ramaje majestuoso.En el Edén, jardín de Dios,era la envidia de todos los árboles.
