# Son of man
|
|
|
|
"Son of a human being" or "Son of humanity." God emphasizes that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful. See Ezekiel 2:1.
|
|
|
|
# bring them down—her and the daughters of majestic nations
|
|
|
|
God is perhaps telling Ezekiel to cause this to happen by giving a prophetic command.
|
|
|
|
# the daughters of majestic nations
|
|
|
|
"the people of powerful nations" or "other powerful nations"
|
|
|
|
# the lowest earth
|
|
|
|
"make them die"
|
|
|
|
# with those who have gone down to the pit
|
|
|
|
"with everyone else who has died and gone into the ground"
|
|
|
|
# the pit
|
|
|
|
"The pit" refers to the grave; because the grave was thought to be the entrance to the world of the dead, the pit also represents that world. See Ezekiel 31:16. |
