Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks. By these various animal victims used in sacrifices are meant various ranks of men, princes, generals, and soldiers (cf. Isaiah 34:6).
All of them fatlings of Bashan - ungodly men of might (Psalms 22:12). Bashan, beyond Jordan, was famed for its fat cattle. Fatness implies prosperity, which often makes men refractory toward God (Deuteronomy 32:14-15).
