Commentary

Commentary on Ezekiel 16:10

Theological / Devotional

Broidered work. Hebrew riqmah, thought to represent a garment of many colors.

The daughter of the king described in Psalm 45:14 was decked in reqamoth (see comment there).

Badgers skin. Hebrew tachash. The word occurs elsewhere in the Old Testament only in the Pentateuch (on the meaning, see on Exodus 25:5 ; 26:14; etc.).

Silk. Hebrew meshi, a word occurring in the Old Testament only here and in verse 13. It is doubtful whether the reference is to silk. However, the material cannot be identified. Ezekiel speaks of materials and articles of clothing familiar in his day, but our incomplete knowledge of his times shrouds some of his imagery in mystery, yet not so as to obscure any essential truth.
