Sabeans; an Arabian people, possibly associated with trade or, contextually, with debauchery
This term appears in Ezekiel 23:42, in a difficult text describing 'Sabeans from the wilderness' or possibly 'drunkards from the wilderness' brought to adorn Judah and Jerusalem allegorically. The identity is debated: are these the Sabeans, the Arabian trading people from Sheba? Or should we read 'wine-bibbers' or 'drunkards' (from a different root)? The Ketiv/Qere textual variants reflect this uncertainty. If Sabeans, they represent foreign influence corrupting God's people. If drunkards, they symbolize the debauchery characterizing the nation's spiritual adultery.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Either Sabeans (an Arabian people) or, per alternative reading, drunkards/wine-bibbers in Ezekiel 23:42's allegory of Jerusalem's corruption. The textual uncertainty reflects two possible interpretations: foreign (Sabean) influence or drunken debauchery. Cross-linguistic glosses preserve 'Sabeans'/'sabeos,' following the ethnic identification, though French 'boire' (to drink) reflects the alternative reading as drunkards. 1×
