It is used over 90 times in the book of Ezekiel. The term "Son of Man" is also significant in the New Testament, where it is frequently used by Jesus to refer to Himself, highlighting His incarnation and fulfillment of prophecy.I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt This metaphorical language indicates a decisive act of divine judgment against Pharaoh, symbolizing the weakening of Egypt's power and military might. Historically, this could refer to the defeat of Egypt by Babylonian forces, as Egypt was a significant power in the region. The "arm" represents strength and ability to wage war, and its breaking signifies the loss of power and influence.See, it has not been bound up for healing The lack of binding or healing suggests that Egypt's defeat is not temporary but rather a lasting judgment. In ancient times, binding a broken arm would be a necessary step for recovery, indicating that God has not allowed Egypt the opportunity to regain its former strength. This reflects the completeness of God's judgment and the futility of relying on human power against divine will.or splinted for strength to hold the sword The inability to hold the sword signifies Egypt's incapacity to defend itself or engage in warfare effectively. This imagery underscores the totality of Egypt's defeat and the cessation of its military prowess. In a broader biblical context, this serves as a warning against pride and reliance on earthly power, echoing themes found in other prophetic books where nations are judged for their arrogance and opposition to God's plans.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God, called to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile. 2. <a href="/topical/p/pharaoh.htm">Pharaoh</a> The king of Egypt, representing the nation and its power.

The word "roller" would be better understood now if translated bandage.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 21. - I have broken the arm. The metaphor was in itself one of the most familiar (<a href="/ezekiel/17-9.htm">Ezekiel 17:9</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/22-6.htm">Ezekiel 22:6</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/2-31.htm">1 Samuel 2:31</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/48-25.htm">Jeremiah 48:25</a>). What is characteristic in Ezekiel is the way in which he follows the figure, so to speak, into its surgical details. A man with a broken arm might be cured and fight again; but it was not to be so with Pharaoh. His arm was not to be bound with a roller (the equivalent of the modern process of putting it in "splints"). The Hebrew word for "roller" is not found elsewhere, and Ezekiel's use of it is one of the instances of his knowledge of surgery. The corresponding verb is used by him of the bandages or swaddling-clothes of infancy (<a href="/ezekiel/16-4.htm">Ezekiel 16:4</a>). <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>“Son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of man, אָדָ֕ם (’ā·ḏām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_120.htm">Strong's 120: </a> Ruddy, a human being I have broken שָׁבָ֑רְתִּי (šā·ḇā·rə·tî) Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7665.htm">Strong's 7665: </a> To break, break in pieces the arm זְר֛וֹעַ (zə·rō·w·a‘) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2220.htm">Strong's 2220: </a> The arm, the foreleg, force of Pharaoh פַּרְעֹ֥ה (par·‘ōh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6547.htm">Strong's 6547: </a> Pharaoh -- a title of Egypt kings king מֶֽלֶךְ־ (me·leḵ-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Egypt. מִצְרַ֖יִם (miṣ·ra·yim) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4714.htm">Strong's 4714: </a> Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest Africa See, וְהִנֵּ֣ה (wə·hin·nêh) Conjunctive waw | Interjection <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> Lo! behold! it has not לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no been bound חֻ֠בְּשָׁה (ḥub·bə·šāh) Verb - Pual - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2280.htm">Strong's 2280: </a> To wrap firmly, to stop, to rule up for healing רְפֻא֜וֹת (rə·p̄u·’ō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7499.htm">Strong's 7499: </a> Remedy, medicine or splinted חִתּ֛וּל (ḥit·tūl) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2848.htm">Strong's 2848: </a> Swathed, a bandage to give it strength לְחָזְקָ֖הּ (lə·ḥā·zə·qāh) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2388.htm">Strong's 2388: </a> To fasten upon, to seize, be strong, obstinate, to bind, restrain, conquer to handle לִתְפֹּ֥שׂ (liṯ·pōś) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8610.htm">Strong's 8610: </a> To manipulate, seize, chiefly to capture, wield, to overlay, to use unwarrantably a sword. בֶּחָֽרֶב׃ (be·ḥā·reḇ) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2719.htm">Strong's 2719: </a> Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, sword <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/30-21.htm">Ezekiel 30:21 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/30-21.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 30:21 Son of man I have broken (Ezek.
