Verse 29. There is Edom] All the glory and pomp of the Idumean kings, who also helped to oppress the Israelites, are gone down into the grave. Their kings, princes, and all their mighty men lie mingled with the uncircumcised, not distinguished from the common dead:

“Where they an equal honour share,

Who buried or unburied are.

Where Agamemnon knows no more

Than Irus, he condemned before.

Where fair Achilles and Thersites lie,

Equally naked, poor, and dry.”

Edom; the posterity of Esau, the name of the country too in which they dwelt.

Her kings; which had been many, and some great warriors.

Her princes, or dukes, as Gen 36:20,21.

With their might; showed in the assistance they gave the Assyrians.

Are laid by them; are slain, and laid aside to be buried, as commanders are usually after their death regarded, and their bodies kept for a funeral.

With the uncircumcised; yet, as the uncircumcised, so these must to the pit, though no mention is made of their being a terror to the nations.

There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes,…. In the next place, near the graves of the above mentioned, and in the same ruinous and desolate condition, lie the famous kingdom of Idumea, and the several kings and dukes of it, from the first setting of it up, to its last destruction prophesied of, Eze 25:12, of many of which mention is made, Ge 36:15:

which with their might are laid by them that are slain with the sword; who, notwithstanding their powerful armies, and prowess and skill in war, yet are conquered, and destroyed, and laid in graves in like manner as all others slain by the, sword of the enemy are:

they shall lie with the uncircumcised; for though they themselves were circumcised, being the descendants of Esau the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, on whose seed circumcision was enjoined; yet this did not secure them from a violent death, and an ignominious burial; they being uncircumcised in heart, wicked and ungodly men, and so should be joined in their death and burial with such:

and with them that go down to the pit; the common receptacle of the slain.

(29) There is Edom.Edom had been long since conquered and almost destroyed by Israel, but had again revived to mock at her calamity (Eze. 25:12-14). It was soon, like its neighbours, to be swept away by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar.

“There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword. They will lie with the uncircumcised and with those who go down to the pit.”

Inscriptions tell us that Edom became a vassal-state of Assyria in around 736 BC. They may well have assisted them against Israel and Judah which would have helped to nurture the undying hatred shown to them by Israel (Psa 137:7; Isa 34:5-15; Isa 63:1-6; Jer 49:7-22; Lam 4:21-22; Joe 3:19; Amo 1:11-12; Oba 1:7-9). It seems that they had a policy of turning back Israelites when they fled for refuge from invading enemies, a callous and cynical attitude (Eze 35:5). They too finally suffered at the hands of the Babylonians. They are probably mentioned here because of Israel’s undying hatred. They have joined their erstwhile masters. They probably practised circumcision, but like Egypt they joined the uncircumcised.

Eze 32:29-30

Eze 32:29-30

“There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all of the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame: and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.”

“There is Edom …” (Eze 32:29). Edom was made to be a type of the wicked nations of all mankind by Isaiah (Isaiah 34); and the description of their punishment at the time of the eternal judgment also carries very significant overtones of that Final Day.

“The princes of the north are there …” (Eze 32:30). These include the Sidonians, of course; in fact they are all going to be there; and this is leading up to the sarcastic statement in Eze 32:30, below, that Pharaoh will be “comforted.” “What is meant is that Pharaoh who cherished military and ambitious slaughter of many peoples on earth will have nothing to complain about; for he will find many worthy companions in Sheol!

Eze 32:29-32. There is Edom, her kings, &c. Of whose destruction Ezekiel prophesied, Eze 25:12; laid by them that were slain by the sword Laid among the conquered. With them that go down to the pit Among those of no renown, who are thrown into one common grave without any honour or distinction paid to them. There be the princes of the north By these, it seems, are meant the Tyrians, who lay north of Judea, and were overcome in many battles by the Chaldeans. Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted, &c. Here, by a poetical figure, sense is given to Pharaoh among the dead, and he feels a consolation in that state to see so many other kings and nations brought into the same condition as himself and his people were in. Even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword Herodotus affirms, that Apries, or Pharaoh-hophra, was strangled: , 50. 2. p. 154. But the enemies of Apries may have used the sword against him before he expired. For I have caused my terror in the land of the living In the Hebrew text it is, , his terror, that is, I have permitted the king of Egypt to be a vexation and terror to many while he was alive in the world. And he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised That is, with the basest sort, or those of no distinction. Or, if we read with the Masorites, whom our translators follow, my terror, the meaning of the verse may be, As these kings and nations have been a terror to the world while they were in it, Eze 32:24, &c, so will I be now a terror to them, and especially to Pharaoh and his people, in making them a remarkable example of my vengeance. Observe, reader, the calamitous state of human life! See what a dying world this is! The strong die, the mighty die; Asshur, Elam, Meshech, Tubal, Edom, the princes of the north, the Zidonians, Pharaoh, and all his multitude! But here is likewise an allusion to the final and everlasting death of impenitent sinners. Those that are uncircumcised in heart are slain by the sword of divine justice. Their iniquity is upon them, and they bear their shame for ever!

Fuente: Joseph Bensons Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Edom is another example of a strong nation that had perished and joined the mass of humanity in the grave. Likewise the rulers of the North and the Sidonians, once terror-inspiring, were now dead. They too now shared their grave with the uncircumcised and their disgrace with other defeated and defunct peoples. The rulers of the North may be an allusion to the Phoenician coastal towns including Tyre. [Note: Taylor, p. 212; Enns, p. 145; Dyer, "Ezekiel," p. 1292.] Or they may have been invaders who lived farther north, between the Black and Caspian seas. [Note: See Herodotus, 1:106; 3:94.]
