What Does Ezekiel 32:6 Mean?
Earlier, the Pharaoh was shown troubling and fouling the waters. Now, his own blood—symbol of life poured out—becomes the thing that fills the rivers. The reversal is poetic: the defiler becomes defilement.
The 'land wherein thou swimmest' recalls his earlier power over waters; now that same land is drenched in his blood. The rivers he once controlled are now full of his death, a stark inversion of his prior mastery.
