Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 28:12

_ _ sealest up the sum — literally, “Thou art the one sealing the sum of perfection.” A thing is sealed when completed (Daniel 9:24). “The sum” implies the full measure of beauty, from a Hebrew root, “to measure.” The normal man — one formed after accurate rule.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 28:11-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 28:12

Thou sealest up — Thou fanciest that fulness of wisdom, and perfection of beauty are in thee.
