THE MESSAGE

In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the first month, God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, lament over Egypt's pompous ways. Send her on her way. Dispatch Egypt and her proud daughter nations To the underworld, down to the country of the dead and buried. Say, ‘You think you're so high and mighty? Down! Take your place with the heathen in that unhallowed grave!'

Contextual Overview
17In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the first month, God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, lament over Egypt's pompous ways. Send her on her way. Dispatch Egypt and her proud daughter nations To the underworld, down to the country of the dead and buried. Say, ‘You think you're so high and mighty? Down! Take your place with the heathen in that unhallowed grave!' 20"She'll be dumped in with those killed in battle. The sword is bared. Drag her off in all her proud pomp! All the big men and their helpers down among the dead and buried will greet them: ‘Welcome to the grave of the heathen! Join the ranks of the victims of war!' 22"Assyria is there and its congregation, the whole nation a cemetery. Their graves are in the deepest part of the underworld, a congregation of graves, all killed in battle, these people who terrorized the land of the living. 24"Elam is there in all her pride, a cemetery—all killed in battle, dumped in her heathen grave with the dead and buried, these people who terrorized the land of the living. They carry their shame with them, along with the others in the grave. They turned Elam into a resort for the pompous dead, landscaped with heathen graves, slaughtered in battle. They once terrorized the land of the living. Now they carry their shame down with the others in deep earth. They're in the section set aside for the slain in battle. 26"Meshech-tubal is there in all her pride, a cemetery in uncircumcised ground, dumped in with those slaughtered in battle—just deserts for terrorizing the land of the living. Now they carry their shame down with the others in deep earth. They're in the section set aside for the slain. They're segregated from the heroes, the old-time giants who entered the grave in full battle dress, their swords placed under their heads and their shields covering their bones, those heroes who spread terror through the land of the living. 28 "And you, Egypt, will be dumped in a heathen grave, along with all the rest, in the section set aside for the slain. 29 "Edom is there, with her kings and princes. In spite of her vaunted greatness, she is dumped in a heathen grave with the others headed for the grave. 30 "The princes of the north are there, the whole lot of them, and all the Sidonians who carry their shame to their graves—all that terror they spread with their brute power!—dumped in unhallowed ground with those killed in battle, carrying their shame with the others headed for deep earth. 31 "Pharaoh will see them all and, pompous old goat that he is, take comfort in the company he'll keep—Pharaoh and his slaughtered army. Decree of God , the Master. 32 "I used him to spread terror in the land of the living and now I'm dumping him in heathen ground with those killed by the sword—Pharaoh and all his pomp. Decree of God , the Master."
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
in the twelfth: Ezekiel 32:1, Ezekiel 1:2
the fifteenth: That is, of the twelfth month, just a fortnight after the preceding prophecy.
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 8:1 - in the sixth year Ezekiel 24:1 - the ninth year Ezekiel 40:1 - In the five
Gill's Notes on the Bible
It came to pass also the twelfth year,.... Another prophecy of the like kind was delivered out the same year as before:
in the fifteenth day of the month; of the twelfth month, the month Adar, which is not here expressed, because mentioned before, Ezekiel 32:1, it was about a fortnight after the other prophecy. The Septuagint and Arabic versions read it,
"it came to pass in the twelfth year, the first month, the fifteenth day of the month;''
according to which this prophecy was before the other, which is not to be supposed.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The seventh prophecy against Egypt Ezekiel 32:17-32. A funeral dirge founded on Ezekiel 31:18. The figure is the same as in Isaiah 14:0, where see the notes. In this dirge Pharaoh is especially addressed. The other nations are represented by their kings, the nations’ overthrow being depicted by the king’s body laid low in the grave.
The month - i. e., the twelfth (see Ezekiel 32:1).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 32:17. In the twelfth year — Two of Kennicott's MSS., one of De Rossi's, and one of my own, (that mentioned Ezekiel 32:1,) have, in the ELEVENTH year; and so has the Syriac, as before. This prophecy concerns the people of Egypt.
