Ezequiel 32:5

5 Esparciré tu carne por las colinas
y llenaré los valles con tus huesos.

Ezequiel 32:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:5

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains
The remainder of it, left by the birds and beasts of prey, and who might carry it thither; or it intends such of the Egyptians who should flee to the mountains for safety, but should fall by the hands of the enemy there. So the Targum,

``and I will give the flesh of thy slain upon the mountains.''

And fill the valleys with thy height;
his huge army, and with which he prided and lifted up himself, and thought himself safe in; which should fall in such great numbers as to cover the plains and valleys where the battle was fought. Jarchi observes, that the word for "height" has with some the signification of "worms"; and so the Syriac version renders it, "and the valleys shall be filled with thy worms"; bred in the carcasses of the slain: and so the Vulgate Latin version, "with corrupt matter"; such as issues out of putrefied wounds. The Targum very rightly paraphrases it,

``the valleys shall be filled with the carcasses of thine army.''

Ezequiel 32:5 In-Context

3 Por lo tanto, esto dice el Señor
Soberano:
enviaré a muchas personas
para que te atrapen con mi red
y te arrastren fuera del agua.

4 Te dejaré abandonado en tierra para que mueras.
Todas las aves de los cielos se posarán sobre ti,
y los animales salvajes de toda la tierra
te comerán hasta saciarse.

5 Esparciré tu carne por las colinas
y llenaré los valles con tus huesos.

6 Empaparé la tierra con la sangre que brote de ti
que correrá hasta las montañas
y llenará los barrancos hasta el borde.

7 Cuando yo borre tu existencia,
cubriré los cielos y oscureceré las estrellas.
Taparé el sol con una nube
y la luna no te dará su luz.
