Ezekiel 31:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 31:8

6 All the ^abirds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs;
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations¹ made their home.

7 ‘Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches,
Because its roots reached to abundant waters.

8 The cedars in the ^agarden of God could not hide it;
The fir trees were not like its boughs,

No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.

9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches,
So that all the trees of Eden envied it,
That were in the garden of God.’
