Commentary on Ezekiel 25:4

Theological / Devotional

Men of the east. Heb. bene-qedem, literally, “sons of the east.” The name is applied to various tribes that roamed to and fro in the wilderness east of Ammon and Moab (see Gen. 29:1; Judges 6:3, 33; 7:12; 8:10; 1 Kings 4:30; Job 1:3).

Palaces. Heb. tiroth enclosures protected by stone walls used for encampments (see Gen. 25:16; Num. 31:10; Ps. 69:25). The LXX renders the passage, “They shall lodge in thee with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in thee.”
