Ezekiel 13:18-20; "women sew pillows to all armholes," rather "to all elbows and wrists." False prophetesses made cushions to lean on, typifying the tranquillity they foretold to their votaries. Compare Ezekiel 13:16," which see visions of peace ... and there is no peace." Perhaps they made their dupes rest on these pillows in fancied ecstasy after making them first stand, from whence the expression is "of every stature" for men of every age. The male prophets "built a wall with untempered mortar" (Ezekiel 13:10), the women sewed pillows; both alike promising "peace" to the impenitent.
From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use. The author's writing style is always clear and concise, and he tackles issues important to the average student of the Bible, not just the Biblical scholars. This makes Fausset an excellent tool for both everyday Bible study and in-depth lesson or sermon preparation.Wikipedia
