They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
They have set her a bed - a burial niche "in the midst of the slain."
All of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword ... - (Ezekiel 32:21; Ezekiel 32:23-24). The very monotony of the same phraseology so often repeated gives to the dirge an awe-inspiring effect.
