Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:1-32

The Oracles Against Egypt (Ezekiel 29:1 to Ezekiel 32:32 ). This section of the book is composed of seven oracles issued against Egypt. The fact that there are seven is probably deliberate in order to emphasise the divine completeness of the condemnation, for throughout the Near East seven was the number of divine perfection. Egypt was the great power to the south, as Assyria, Babylon and Persia were successively to the north. Except in very weak times, she had always seen the land of Canaan... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:11-14

‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you. By the swords of the mighty will I cause your mass of people to fall. They are all the terrible of the nations, and they will spoil the pride of Egypt, and all its mass of people will be destroyed. I will also destroy its beasts from beside many waters, nor will the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hooves of beasts trouble them. Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:1-16

Ezekiel 32:1-Nehemiah : . The Dirge over Pharaoh.— A dirge is now sung over Pharaoh, in which he is likened, as before ( Ezekiel 29:3), to a crocodile— brutal and turbulent; but Yahweh will catch him in His net, and hurl his huge dripping carcase over mountain and valley, to be devoured by beasts and birds. Pharaoh, the brilliant luminary (the figure changes here), shall be extinguished; and other nations, when they behold Egypt’ s fate, shall tremble at the thought that the like may happen... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 32:1-32

Ezekiel 32:2 . Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh, compose a funeral elegy for Egypt. Send out thy letters to Egypt as Jeremiah wrote to Babylon, and give them a space for repentance.

I will cover the heaven and set darkness upon thy land. I will eclipse the sun, and all the stars of... read more

11-15. It is now plainly stated that Nebuchadnezzar and the terrible Chaldeans shall work this destruction. (Compare Ezekiel 28:7; Ezekiel 29:11; Ezekiel 29:19.) The waters shall now be “clear” (R.V.), and smooth as oil, no longer fouled (R.V., “troubled”) by the struggling crocodile (Ezekiel 32:2), for all life shall be destroyed; then shall the Egyptians know who Jehovah is. (Compare Ezekiel 30:26.) read more
