Ézéchiel 32:27

Darby's French Translation

Et ils n'ont pas été couchés avec les hommes forts, tombés d'entre les incirconcis, qui sont descendus dans le shéol avec leurs instruments de guerre, et sous la tête desquels on a mis leurs épées, et dont les iniquités sont sur leurs os; quoiqu'ils fussent la terreur des hommes forts sur la terre des vivants.

Ils n'ont pourtant point �t� gisants avec les hommes vaillants qui sont tomb�s d'entre les incirconcis, lesquels sont descendus au s�pulcre avec leurs instruments de guerre, dont on a mis les �p�es sous leurs t�tes, et dont les iniquit�s ont repos� sur leurs os; parce que la terreur des hommes forts est en la terre des vivants.

Mais ils ne sont point couch�s avec les vaillants hommes, tomb�s d'entre les incirconcis, qui sont descendus au S�pulcre avec leurs armes de guerre, et sous la t�te desquels on a mis leurs �p�es. Leurs iniquit�s couvrent leurs ossements, car ils furent la terreur des hommes vaillants sur la terre des vivants.

Louis Segond (1910)
Ils ne sont pas couch�s avec les h�ros, Ceux qui sont tomb�s d'entre les incirconcis; Ils sont descendus au s�jour des morts avec leurs armes de guerre, Ils ont mis leurs �p�es sous leurs t�tes, Et leurs iniquit�s ont �t� sur leurs ossements; Car ils �taient la terreur des h�ros dans le pays des vivants.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised,.... That is, shall not lie in such state, or be buried with such pomp and magnificence, and have such sepulchral monuments erected to their memory, as other heroes among the Heathens have had; such as the mighty kings of Assyria and Persia before mentioned:

which are gone down to hell, or "the grave",

with their weapons of war; which were never taken from them, and which they held in their hands to the last, being never conquered, and died at last a natural death, and not by the sword; or which were carried in state before their hearse at the time of interment, as is the custom to this day so to do at the funeral of great warriors, generals, and officers:

and they have laid their swords under their heads; as a sign and token, as Jarchi says, that the sword did not rule over them, that they did not fall by it; either their statues and sepulchral monuments were adorned with these, and other instruments of war, as was the grave of Misenus by Aeneas d; and as is still the custom where the heads of such mighty ones are laid, to engrave them on them: or, literally, their swords and other weapons of war were put in their graves under their heads; as it was usual, in former times, in some places to put swords, shields, and other armour, in the graves of military men, as were in the grave of Theseus, on the bier of Alexander the great, and others, as reported by Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus, and Sophocles e: now the Scythians were not buried: after this grand and pompous manner:

but their iniquities shall be upon their bones; or the punishment of their sin should be, that their bones should lie unburied and scattered about, or be dug up and broke to pieces, and treated with inhumanity and contempt, as a just reward for their savageness, and cruelty:

though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living: not only the terror of the common people, but even of the most powerful kings and mighty warriors.

d Vid. Virgil. Aeneid. l. 6. & Seneca, l. 4. controvers. 4. e Vid. Lydium de Re Militari, l. 6. c. 7. p. 250, 251. & Kirchman, de Funer. Roman. l. 3. c. 18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And they shall not lie - Better, “Shall they not lie?” or, “Are they not laid?” The custom of burying warriors with their swords, shields, or helmets, raider their heads is well known, and common to most warlike nations.

But their iniquities ... - They, rested in all the glories of a warrior’s sepulture, but their sins followed them to the grave.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 32:27. Gone down to hell with their weapons of war — Are buried in their armour and with their weapons lying by their sides. It was a very ancient practice, in different nations, to bury a warrior's weapons in the same grave with himself.
