Ezekiel 31:3

Study

       

3 Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches and a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature: and his top was amidst the thick boughs.

Commentarius

 

Uncircumcised

  

In Genesis 17:14; 34:14, this signifies one who is in self-love, which is the vilest of all loves because destructive of society. (Arcana Coelestia 2957)

'The uncircumcised,' as in Ezekiel 31:18, signifies people lacking the good of charity.

(Notae: Apocalypse Revealed 90)

18 To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
