Yechezkel 39:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:3

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand
In which it is usually held, to have the arrow fitted to it: and I will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand;
where they are commonly held when put into the bow, and then the bow is drawn with it; signifying hereby, that though he should come into the land of Israel, he should not succeed; he would be stripped of his armour, and it would be useless to him: bows and arrows are put for all kind of warlike instruments; and are particularly mentioned because they were chiefly used in war when this prophecy was delivered.

Yechezkel 39:3 In-Context

1 9 Therefore, thou Ben Adam, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Hineni, I am against thee, O Gog, nasi rosh Meshech and Tuval;

2 And I will turn thee around, and drive thee on, and will cause thee to come up from the far north, and will bring thee upon the harim of Yisroel;

3 And I will knock thy keshet out of thy left hand, and will cause thine khitzim to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Thou shalt fall upon the harim of Yisroel, thou, and all thy troops, and the peoples with thee; I will give thee unto the birds of prey of every sort, and to the beasts of the sadeh to be devoured.

5 Thou shalt fall upon the open sadeh; for I have spoken it, saith Adonoi Hashem.
