Ezekiel24:4

4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder , fill it with the choice bones .

Which are to put into this pot.

i. e. All the chief of the Inhabitants of the Land, the wealthiest, who in the time of this Invasion will fly from their Country Houses to live in safety in Ierusalem. The most warlike, who will betake themselves to Ierusalem for its defence.

As these are the principal parts for support, motion, defence, and strength, so those Citizens, Souldiers, Rulers, that are strength, defence, and glory of this people are here signified by those parts▪

Fill the Pot, Ierusalem, let no place be empty.

With those pieces, that are biggest, fattest, fullest of marrow, and which are divided according to the Bones; these are the principal Members of this Jewish State, King, Princes, Priests, Magistrates, and wealthy Citizens.
