Ezekiel 31:15

Study

       

15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I made Lebanon black for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

Commentary

 

Stay

  

In Genesis 8:10, this signifies the period between two states. (Arcana Coelestia 880)

'To stay with,' as in Genesis 32:4, relates to the life of truth when accompanied by good, and in this instance, it means to take something in.
