Ezekiel 23:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

Which were clothed with blue ... all of them desirable young men - rather, 'purple' (Fairbairn). As a lustful woman's passions are fired by showy dress and youthful appearance in men, so Israel was seduced by the pomp and power of Assyria.

Captains and rulers - satraps (cf. Isaiah 10:8).

Horsemen - cavaliers.
