Isaiah 22:18-22
wind ... up tightly <06801> [surely.]
wide ... land <0776 07342> [a large country. Heb. a land large of spaces.]
Eliakim <0471> [Eliakim.]
put <03847> [clothe.]
protector <01> [a father.]
key <04668> [And the key.]
As the robe and the baldric, mentioned in the preceding verse, were the ensigns of power and authority; so likewise was the key the mark of office, either sacred or civil. To comprehend how the key could be borne on the shoulder, it will be sufficient to observe, that the ancient keys were of considerable magnitude, and much bent.
opens ................. open <06605> [so he.]
