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 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.

8 Os cedros do jardim de Deusnão eram rivais para ele,nem os pinheiros conseguiamigualar-se aos seus ramos,nem os plátanos podiamcomparar-se com os seus galhos;nenhuma árvore do jardim de Deuspodia equiparar-se à sua beleza.
