Ezekiel 32:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Leave thee upon the land; thy beaten army shall be slain: see Ezekiel 29:5: it was literally fulfilled in the deserts of Libya, where the slain of Hophra's army were left to be devoured by fowls and beasts. Metaphorically it is gathering a mixture of people, soldiers, like ravenous birds and beasts. from all parts to spoil Egypt. To remain upon thee; they should not be removed till filled with the spoils of Egypt. The beasts of the whole earth; the foreign and mercenary soldiers shall be enriched by the slaughter and plunder of the Egyptians.

Ezekiel 32:4

4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
