SCRIPTURE

"And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you." — Ezekiel 39:19 (ASV)

And you shall eat fat till you be full The fat of men; and such as before described generally are fat, and of which they shall have enough; and, though voracious creatures, shall eat to satiety: and drink blood till you be drunken ; as men are with wine, who become mad with it; and so birds and beasts of prey grow fiercer by drinking blood: the meaning is, they should have their fill of the flesh, fat, and blood, of slain men: of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you ; the Targum is,

"of the flesh of the slain, which I have slain for you;" (See Gill on Ezekiel 39:17).
