Yehezkiel 31:8

Alkitab Terjemahan Baru

Pohon-pohon aras di dalam taman Allah tidak akan dapat menyainginya, juga pohon sanobar tidak akan dapat menyamai ranting-rantingnya, dan pohon berangan tidak dapat dibandingkan dengan cabang-cabangnya. Segala pohon-pohon yang di taman Allah tiada yang dapat disamakan dengan dia mengenai keelokannya.

Maka segala pohon araz di taman Allah tiada dapat memadamkan kemuliaannya; tiadalah pohon eru yang setara dengan dia dalam bercabang-cabang, dan tiada pohon berangan yang sama dengan dia dalam bertaruk-taruk, maka dalam taman Allah sebatang pohon kayupun tiada yang dapat dibanding dengan keelokannya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him,.... That is, could not rise so high as this cedar, and overtop him, and obscure his glory; even those that were most excellent, which grew in Eden, near to which Babylon stood, and where a mighty king dwelt. The sense is, that the greatest kings and potentates in the whole world, which is like a garden planted by the Lord, were not equal to the king of Assyria, and much less exceeded him in grandeur, wealth, and power:

the fir trees were not like his boughs: lesser kings and princes, comparable to fir trees for the beauty, regularity, order, and flourishing condition of their kingdoms; yet these were but petty states, and not to be compared even with the provinces of the king of Assyria:

and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; lesser states still: which, though well set, and well spread, and full of people, yet not answerable to some countries that were in the provinces that belonged to the Assyrian empire:

not any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty; no king, prince, or potentate whatever in the whole world, was to be compared to him for royal majesty and greatness. The Targum is,

"mighty kings could not prevail against him, because of the strength of his power, which he had from the Lord; rulers could not stand before his army, and mighty men could not prevail against his auxiliaries, because of the strength of power he had from the Lord; there is none like to him in his strength.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Fifth prophecy against Egypt: a warning to Pharaoh from the fate of the Assyrians. The Assyrian empire, after having been supreme in Asia for four centuries, had been overthrown by the united forces of the Babylonians and Medes, in the year of the battle of Carchemish (605 b.c.), which had broken the power of Egypt. This gives force to the warning to Egypt from Assyria’s fall.

Ezekiel 31:4

His plants - Rather, her plantation. The water represents the riches and might which flowed into Assyria.

Ezekiel 31:5

When be shot forth - Or, when the deep water sent forth its streams.

Ezekiel 31:8

Garden of God - Paradise.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 31:8. The cedars in the garden of God — Egypt was one of the most eminent and affluent of all the neighbouring nations.
