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 Considere a Assíria, outrora um cedro no Líbano,com belos galhos que faziam sombra à floresta;era alto; seu topo ficava acimada espessa folhagem.

4 As águas o nutriam,correntes profundas o faziam crescer em grande altura;seus riachos fluíam de onde ele estavapara todas as árvores do campo.

5 Erguia-se mais alto quetodas as árvores do campo;brotaram muitos ramose seus galhos cresceram,espalhando-se, graças à fartura de água.

6 Todas as aves do céuse aninhavam em seus ramos,todos os animais do campodavam à luz debaixo dos seus galhos;todas as grandes naçõesviviam à sua sombra.

7 Era de uma beleza majestosa,com seus ramos que tanto se espalhavam,pois as suas raízes desciamaté as muitas águas.
