Ezekiel 32
1. A lamentation for the fearful fall of Egypt
11. The sword of Babylon shall destroy it
17. It shall be brought down to hell, among all the uncircumcised nations














Edom is there
The mention of Edom here is significant, as Edom was a nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. Historically, Edom had a tumultuous relationship with Israel, often characterized by hostility and conflict. The phrase "Edom is there" indicates that Edom, despite its historical enmity and pride, is now counted among the defeated nations. This serves as a reminder of the ultimate justice and sovereignty of God over all nations, regardless of their past might or opposition to His people.

her kings and all her princes
This phrase highlights the leadership of Edom, emphasizing that even those in positions of power and authority are not exempt from judgment. In the ancient Near Eastern context, kings and princes were often seen as the embodiment of their nation's strength and pride. The inclusion of Edom's leaders in this judgment underscores the comprehensive nature of God's justice, which reaches from the highest to the lowest.

who despite their might
The phrase "despite their might" points to the futility of relying on earthly power and strength. Edom was known for its strategic location and military prowess, yet these were insufficient to save them from divine judgment. This serves as a cautionary tale for all who trust in their own strength rather than in God, reminding believers that true security is found only in Him.

have been laid among those slain by the sword
This imagery of being "slain by the sword" conveys the finality and severity of Edom's judgment. In biblical times, death by the sword was often seen as a violent and dishonorable end. The phrase suggests that Edom's downfall was not only physical but also a moral and spiritual defeat, as they are counted among the dishonored dead.

They lie with the uncircumcised
In the Hebrew context, circumcision was a sign of the covenant between God and His people, Israel. To "lie with the uncircumcised" implies that Edom, despite its heritage and might, is now associated with those outside of God's covenant. This serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of living apart from God's covenant and the ultimate leveling of all peoples before His judgment.

with those who descend to the Pit
The "Pit" is often a metaphor for Sheol, the realm of the dead in Hebrew thought. This phrase indicates the finality of Edom's judgment, as they join the ranks of those who have gone down to the grave. It serves as a sobering reminder of the reality of death and the importance of living in accordance with God's will, as all will ultimately face His judgment.

(29) There is Edom.--Edom had been long since conquered and almost destroyed by Israel, but had again revived to mock at her calamity (Ezekiel 25:12-14). It was soon, like its neighbours, to be swept away by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar.

Verse 29. - There is Edom, her kings and her princes. (For the political relations of Edom at this time, see Ezekiel 25:12-14.) Whatever shadow of power might yet remain to it, Ezekiel, from his standpoint, could yet declare that her greatness had departed. The exultation which the Edomites had shown over the fall of Jerusalem (Psalm 137:7) would naturally tend to accentuate the prophet's language. The "princes" of Edom are probably identical with the "dukes" of Genesis 36:15-43 and 1 Chronicles 1:51, where the word means literally the heads or captains of thousands, i.e. of tribes, as in Judges 6:15 (comp. Zechariah 9:7; Zechariah 12:5).
