What Does Ezekiel 32:5 Mean?
The description moves from the corpse being devoured to its remnants covering the topography. Mountains and valleys, high and low ground, all receive what remains of the once-great ruler. The geographical metaphor stresses totality and ubiquity of the judgment.
The Pharaoh's height and size—once symbols of greatness—become the very measure of the extent of his defeat. His body cannot be contained or gathered; it spreads beyond all bounds.
