Ezekiel 23:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Clothed with blue; richly apparelled, and, as the humour of that nation, in rich and beautiful blue, very magnificent to the eye. Captains; daring, valiant men, and fit for wars, who might defend the Jews in time of danger. Rulers; worthy of authority, and fit to govern in times of peace. Desirable young men; young and vigorous, full of beauty and strength to commend them to the desire and choice. Horsemen riding upon horses; skilful in riding, and well furnished with choice horses, on which these deluded apostatizing Israelites relied for help, as appears, Hosea 14:3.

Ezekiel 23:6

6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
