The ornaments and privileges of the churchWith a wind from the east The phrase "With a wind from the east" in Psalm 48:7 evokes a powerful image of divine intervention and judgment. In the Hebrew text, the word for "wind" is "רוּחַ" (ruach), which can mean wind, breath, or spirit. This multifaceted term often signifies the presence and action of God, as seen in Genesis 1:2, where the Spirit of God hovers over the waters. The "east wind" specifically, "קָדִים" (qadim), is frequently associated with destruction and judgment in the Old Testament. For instance, in Exodus 14:21, it is the east wind that parts the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape and subsequently drowning the Egyptian army. This wind is not just a natural phenomenon but a tool of divine will, emphasizing God's sovereignty over creation and history.

The expression must be used metaphorically of a great and violent destruction wrought by the arm of God upon Israel's foes. Still, the imagery would scarcely have been used, unless there had been something in the circumstances of the time to suggest it, as there certainly was in Jehoshaphat's time, whose fleet of "ships of Tamhish" was "broken" at Ezion-geber (1 Kings 22:48). The poet may have witnessed the catastrophe.Parallel Commentaries ...
