Ezekiel 25:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Stretch out mine hand: see Ezekiel 25:7, and Ezekiel 16:27. Cut off man, by the sword of the Chaldeans, and by other wasting evils which accompany wars, as famine, pestilence, and other diseases. And beast; either their cattle should be driven away by the plundering soldier, or devoured by the mighty numerous army of Nebuchadnezzar, or wasted with murrain, or all should concur to unstock their pastures. Desolate; a desolation, i.e. most desolate. From Teman; from the south, so the Chaldee paraphrase; but it is rather the name of the region, called by the name of Esau's grandson Teman, who also gave name to the metropolis of Idumea, and probably it was in the southern coast of Edom's country. Dedan; the Dedanites, who were of Abraham by Keturah, Genesis 25:3; and these were neighbours to Edom, on the side of Arabia, or else intermixed with the Edomites in habitation and commerce, so that it might be a city reckoned either to Edom or Arabia. From Teman to Dedan the Chaldean sword should waste all.
