Ezechiele 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.''

Ezechiele 31:6 In-Context

4 Le acque lo nutrivano, l’abisso lo facea crescere, andando, coi suoi fiumi, intorno al luogo dov’era piantato, mentre mandava i suoi canali a tutti gli alberi dei campi.
5 Perciò la sua altezza era superiore a quella di tutti gli alberi della campagna, i suoi rami s’eran moltiplicati, e i suoi ramoscelli s’erano allungati per l’abbondanza delle acque che lo faceano sviluppare.
6 Tutti gli uccelli del cielo s’annidavano fra i suoi rami, tutte le bestie dei campi figliavano sotto i suoi ramoscelli, e tutte le grandi nazioni dimoravano alla sua ombra.
7 Era bello per la sua grandezza, per la lunghezza dei suoi rami, perché la sua radice era presso acque abbondanti.
8 I cedri non lo sorpassavano nel giardino di Dio; i cipressi non uguagliavano i suoi ramoscelli, e i platani non eran neppure come i suoi rami; nessun albero nel giardino di Dio lo pareggiava in bellezza.
