“ ‘You were the sealer14 of perfection,
full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
28:13You were in Eden, the garden of God.15
Every precious stone was your covering,

your settings and mounts were made of gold.
On the day you were created they were prepared.
Footnotes
- 13 Heb “lift up.”
- 14 For a discussion of possible nuances of this phrase, see M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (), 2:.
- 15 The imagery of the lament appears to draw upon an extrabiblical Eden tradition about the expulsion of the first man (see v. 14 and the note there) from the garden due to his pride. The biblical Eden tradition speaks of cherubs placed as guardians at the garden entrance following the sin of Adam and Eve (Gen 3:24), but no guardian cherub like the one described in verse 14 is depicted or mentioned in the biblical account. Ezekiel’s imagery also appears to reflect Mesopotamian and Canaanite mythology at certain points. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (), 2:.
- 16 The exact identification of each gemstone is uncertain. The list should be compared to that of the priest in Exod 28:17–20, which lists twelve stones in rows of three. The apparently imports the Exod 28 list. See reference to the types of stones in L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (), 2:.
