Ezekiel 34:29

The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 34:29

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

A plant of renown. The words at first suggest the thought that Ezekiel was reproducing the ideal picture of the "branch," the "root," the "stem," the "plant." of ; ; .

Here, however, the word is collective, and is translated "plantation" in , "planting" in ; ; . It can hardly be taken as speaking of more than the general fertility of the land.

The rendering of the LXX; "a plant of peace," obviously implies a different reading (shalom instead of shem), and this Cornill has adopted in his text. So taken, the words naturally lead on to what follows—the promise that men should no more be consumed with hunger.
