2 | What did lucifer do while in heaven? | Ezek 28:13 | mark d seyler | 173972 | ||
Hi e.narey, I have heard that before also. The Scripture referrence I have heard used was: Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. The LITV translates it in this way: "the workmanship of your tambourines and of your flutes in you." Here is the NASB translation: Ezek 28:13 "You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. The NASB translates these words as the settings for the jemstones that covered this cherub. Jaimeson Fausset Brown says "tabrets — tambourines. pipes — Literally, “holes” in musical pipes or flutes." The word translated Tabrets in the KJV, and Settings in the NASB, is the Hebrew "Toph", which is used 16 other times in the Old Testament, always clearly in the context of being a musical instrument. The word translated "Pipes", or "Settings", the Hebrew "neqeb", is only used here, so we are not able to compare this to other uses. Now, were we to understand that this cherub did in fact have musical instruments built into his body, it's still a bit of a leap to say that this was the heavenly worship leader. Scripturally, all we can say of this cherub was that it was the "covering cherub". I am not aware of any Scripture that further defines what this "covering", or "fencing in", refers to. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
