Ye shall eat — In these two and the following verses, God takes on him the person of one that makes a feast, invites his guests, and promises to satisfy them. Of the two former, the first is an Enigmatical invitation, or an invitation in a riddle; the latter is the key to this character. The mighty — Who had great authority, great courage and strength, the giant — like ones, commanders of great note in the army. Princes — Many princes came with their country men and subjects to assist in this war. Rams — These are compared to rams which lead the flock. Lambs — Lambs are the more ordinary in the army. Goats — Goats signify the more lascivious, and impetuous among them. Bullocks — Bullocks, such as though more slow, were of great strength. Fatlings — Well fed. Bashan — A mountain of most rich, and sweet soil.
