A Triumphant Festival
b“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My csacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal don the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them bfatlings of Bashan.
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
With horses and riders,
bWith mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.

Ezekiel 39:18
Ye shall - drink the blood of the princes of the earth - I need not mention the custom of the Scandinavians: they were accustomed to drink the blood of their enemies out of the skulls of the dead. But this is spoken of fowls and beasts here - rams, lambs, and goats. The feast shall be as grateful and as plenteous to the fowls and beasts, as one made of the above animals, the fattest and best of their kind, (because fed in the fertile fields of Bashan), would be to the guests of him who makes a sacrifice.
