Ezequiel 32:5

5 E porei as tuas carnes sobre os montes, e encherei os vales da tua altura.

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 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Estenderei sobre ti a minha rede por meio duma companhia de muitos povos, e eles te alçarão na minha rede.

4 Então te deixarei em terra; sobre a face do campo te lançarei, e farei pousar sobre ti todas as aves do céu, e fartarei de ti os animais de toda a terra.

5 E porei as tuas carnes sobre os montes, e encherei os vales da tua altura.

6 Também com o teu sangue regarei a terra onde nadas, até os montes; e as correntes se encherão de ti.

7 E, apagando-te eu, cobrirei o céu, e enegrecerei as suas estrelas; ao sol encobrirei com uma nuvem, e a lua não dará a sua luz.
