Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [2]

 Ezekiel 13:10 (b) This act is used as a type of the work of that preacher or teacher who mixes together various religious doctrines, philosophies and deductions with which to organize and build a so-called Christian work, a religious work. This is typical of all the many false religions that have been propagated in the last few decades. (See also  Ezekiel 22:28).

King James Dictionary [3]

DAUB,

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [4]

dôb  : "To daub" always has the meaning "to cover," "to smear with" in the Scriptures. Ezekiel compares the flatteries of the false prophec to a slight wall covered with whitewash (literally, "spittle"). See  Ezekiel 13:10;  Ezekiel 22:28 . in  Exodus 2:3 "daubed it with slime and with pitch" (Hebrew ותּחמרה , wattaḥmerāh , denominative of המר , ḥēmār , "bitumen" or "asphalt"), "to daub" has the same meaning as in the Ezekiel passage.
