Pillows

VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
Eze_13:18-20; "women sew pillows to all armholes," rather "to all elbows and wrists." False prophetesses made cushions to lean on, typifying the tranquillity they foretold to their votaries. Compare Eze_13:16," which see visions of peace ... and there is no peace." Perhaps they made their dupes rest on these pillows in fancied ecstasy after making them first stand, from whence the expression is "of every stature" for men of every age. The male prophets "built a wall with untempered mortar" (Eze_13:10), the women sewed pillows; both alike promising "peace" to the impenitent.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


The prophet speaks of “sewing pillows to arm holes.” There is here, probably, an allusion to the easy indulgence of the great. To this day in the east they cover the floors of their houses with carpets: and along the sides of the wall or floor, a range of narrow beds or mattresses is often placed upon these carpets; and, for their farther ease and convenience, several velvet or damask bolsters are placed upon these carpets or mattresses,—indulgences that seem to be alluded to by the stretching of themselves upon couches, and by “the sewing of pillows to arm holes,”
Eze_13:18; Amo_6:4.
Biblical and Theological Dictionary by Richard Watson
PRINTER 1849.
