Ezekiel interprets the riddle, identifying the first eagle as the king of Babylon who took Judah's king, princes, and survivors to Babylon, establishing a covenant with them. The interpretation confirms that Nebuchadnezzar's actions constituted a binding political agreement establishing Judah as a subordinate vassal state. The reference to covenant emphasizes that Babylonian vassalage was contractual, imposing real obligations that Judah subsequently violated.
