Ezekiel 32:29-30

Ezekiel 32:29-30

[29] There is Edom,  her kings,  and all her princes,  which with their might  are laid  by them that were slain  by the sword:  they shall lie  with the uncircumcised,  and with them that go down  to the pit.  [30] There be the princes  of the north,  all of them, and all the Zidonians,  which are gone down  with the slain;  with their terror  they are ashamed  of their might;  and they lie  uncircumcised  with them that be slain  by the sword,  and bear  their shame  with them that go down  to the pit. 

What does Ezekiel 32:29-30 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Edom is another example of a strong nation that had perished and joined the mass of humanity in the grave. Likewise the rulers of the North and the Sidonians, once terror-inspiring, were now dead. They too now shared their grave with the uncircumcised and their disgrace with other defeated and defunct peoples. The rulers of the North may be an allusion to the Phoenician coastal towns including Tyre. [1] Or they may have been invaders who lived farther north, between the Black and Caspian seas. [2]
