Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 32:14
14. make their waters deep—rather, "make . . . to subside"; literally, "sink" [FAIRBAIRN]. like oil—emblem of quietness. No longer shall they descend violently on other countries as the overflowing Nile, but shall be still and sluggish in political action. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 32:13-14
The enemy would also slay the Egyptians’ cattle. The Egyptians regarded many forms of cattle as manifestations of their gods. Finally the waters of Egypt would be undisturbed (cf. Ezekiel 32:2); there would be no people or animals left in the land to muddy them. The waters would settle and would flow as smoothly as oil. Some interpreters have taken this as a reference to the messianic age, but it probably does not look that far into the future."In biblical and Jewish tradition the motif of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:1-32
Two Lamentations for Pharaoh and EgyptThis chapter consists of two prophecies, both dated more than a year and a half after the capture of Jerusalem, and separated from each other by a fortnight. In the first Pharaoh is likened, no longer to a young lion, but to a foul river monster, which will be caught, cast on the mountains, and devoured by birds and beasts of prey. At the monster’s end the lights of heaven will be darkened, and the nations will be dismayed (Ezekiel 32:1-10). The allegory is... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 32:1-32
Ezekiel 32:1 ; Ezekiel 32:17 Calling to mind my ordination this day eleven years ago, I spent some hours in the afternoon in the wood, reviewing the past, confessing sin, seeking mercy through the blood of the Lamb, who has a fold of righteousness to spread over a minister's sins. Some brokenness of heart and some power to cry for future blessing. I see Ezekiel got some of his messages in his twelfth year! May the Lord God of Ezekiel remember me! Dr. A. A. Bonar's Diary, p. 143. References.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:1-32
EGYPTEzekiel 29:1-21; Ezekiel 30:1-26; Ezekiel 31:1-18; Ezekiel 32:1-32EGYPT figures in the prophecies of Ezekiel as a great world-power cherishing projects of universal dominion. Once more, as in the age of Isaiah, the ruling factor in Asiatic politics was the duel for the mastery of the world between the rival empires of the Nile and the Euphrates. The influence of Egypt was perhaps even greater in the beginning of the sixth century than it had been in the end of the eighth, although in the... read more
