Ezekiel 20:4

4 If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.

Commentary

 

Stretched out arm

  

A 'stretched out arm,' as in Exodus 6:6, signifies omnipotence or divine power, because 'an arm,' when stretched out in the heavens, represents power from the divine, but when not stretched out, but bended, it represents power in the general sense. This is why divine power is often shown in the Word as a stretched out arm or a strong hand.
