Yechezkel 12:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:14

And I will scatter to every wind all that [are] about him to
help him
Either his bodyguards, the men of war that were with him when he fled, ( Jeremiah 52:7 ) ; or his auxiliary troops, the Egyptians, whom he had taken into his pay for his assistance: and all his bands:
or "wings" ^F23; the wings of his army. The Targum interprets it his army; these were all scattered from him when he was taken, ( Jeremiah 52:8 ) ; and I will draw out the sword after them:
which fled into Egypt, and other countries; so that they did not escape, though they went not into captivity; see ( Ezekiel 5:12 ) .

Yechezkel 12:14 In-Context

12 And the nasi that is among them shall bear [his gear] upon his katef (shoulder) in the twilight, and shall go forth; they shall dig through the kir (wall) to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not ha’aretz with the ayin (eye) [See 2Kgs 25:7].

13 My net also will I spread over him, and he shall be caught in My snare; and I will bring him to Bavel to Eretz Kasdim (Chaldeans); yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there [See 2Kgs 25:7].

14 And I will scatter toward every ruach (wind) all that are about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the cherev after them.

15 And they shall know that I am Hashem, when I shall scatter them among the Goyim, and disperse them throughout the countries.

16 But I will leave a few anashim of them from the cherev, from the ra’av (famine), and from the dever; that they may declare all their to’avot among the Goyim to where they come; and they shall know that I am Hashem.
