Context — Egypt Cast into the Pit
24Elam is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword— those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
26Meshech and Tubal are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living. 28But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.Cross References

Ezekiel 32:26 Summary
[Ezekiel 32:26 is talking about two ancient nations, Meshech and Tubal, who were judged by God for their wickedness and violence. They were not in a covenant relationship with God, and their actions had serious consequences, as seen in the fact that they were 'slain by the sword' (Ezekiel 32:26). This verse reminds us that our actions have eternal consequences, and we will all face God's judgment one day (Hebrews 9:27). We can learn from the example of Meshech and Tubal to seek forgiveness and live a life that honors God, rather than spreading fear and violence (Matthew 5:9).]
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Meshech and Tubal mentioned in Ezekiel 32:26?
Meshech and Tubal were ancient nations that are now modern-day Turkey, and their mention here signifies their spiritual state and judgment, as seen in Ezekiel 32:26 and also referenced in Ezekiel 27:13 and 38:2-3.
What does it mean to be 'uncircumcised' in Ezekiel 32:26?
In the Bible, being 'uncircumcised' refers to a spiritual condition of not being in a covenant relationship with God, as seen in Ezekiel 32:26 and also in Ezekiel 31:18, and is distinct from physical circumcision, which was a sign of the covenant for the Israelites, as mentioned in Genesis 17:10-14.
Why were Meshech and Tubal 'slain by the sword' according to Ezekiel 32:26?
The phrase 'slain by the sword' in Ezekiel 32:26 indicates that these nations were judged and punished by God for their wickedness, similar to the judgment described in Revelation 19:15 and Isaiah 34:5-6.
What can we learn from the fact that Meshech and Tubal 'spread their terror in the land of the living'?
This phrase in Ezekiel 32:26 teaches us that our actions have consequences, and those who spread fear and violence will ultimately face God's judgment, as also seen in Proverbs 10:24 and Matthew 26:52.
Reflection Questions
- How does the description of Meshech and Tubal in Ezekiel 32:26 challenge my understanding of God's judgment and justice?
- In what ways can I be guilty of 'spreading terror' in my own life, and how can I repent and seek forgiveness?
- What does the image of 'graves all around them' in Ezekiel 32:26 reveal about the consequences of sin and rebellion against God?
- How can I apply the lesson of Ezekiel 32:26 to my own life, recognizing that my actions have eternal consequences?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 32:26
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude,.... The Scythians, a powerful and warlike people; and all their armies, as the Targum; with their leaders, generals, and commanders, as lying in their
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 32:26
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:26
Meshech: see . Tubal: see ; to which interpretation I still adhere, adding that in the full extent of these Moschi and Tibareni, these Cappadocians and Albanians, the Scythians may be included, many of which were next neighbours to them. Junius is of opinion that the Scythians are here meant, and so am I. But it will be said they never had such a settled kingdom worth noting. It is true of that barbarous people, there is no account that ever they were lords of the world; yet they caused their terror in the land of the living, and were slain by the sword under the command and in the expeditions of their kings into Asia, who were accompanied with her multitudes. Velleius reports they wasted Asia 350 years before Rome was thought of, and that is about 1082 years before Christ’ s birth. Again, we find them in arms, (no doubt in numbers much like what they appeared in when Tomvris their queen destroyed Cyrus, or when they have moved against their neighbours in later days,) and with those arms wasted the Cimmerii, a people seated near them on the Euxine Sea and the Maeotis Palus; and about that time they did under their chieftains waste Asia, they forced Cyaxares from the siege of Nineveh, such considerable strength they had then; this was 634 before Christ’ s’ birth, were lords of Asia for twenty-eight years, and it seems that their power was such, Cyaxares was glad to decline plain dealing, and to overthrow them by a wile, as Calvisius tells us, ad A.M. 3344, and the help of Halyattes, king of the Lydians. These things were fresh in memory when Ezekiel prophesied thus against Egypt, for they fell out about the eighth or ninth year of Pharaoh-necho, some fourteen years before Pharaoh-hophra came to the crown; now about the sixth year of his reign came this word of the Lord to Ezekiel; so that the prophet might well mention these as instances of God’ s power abating the pride and destroying the kingdoms of the mighty, and these are with reason brought in among the Persians and Assyrians.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:26
Ezekiel 32:26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.Ver. 26. There is Meshech and Tubal,] i.e., Say some, the Cappadocians and Spaniards; others, the Scythians and Sarmatians. And all her multitude.] See Ezekiel 32:25.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:26
(26) There is Meshech, Tubal.—See Note on Ezekiel 27:13. It is difficult to obtain historical data for the exact time of the fall of these more obscure kingdoms; but at this period of the world these smaller states were being rapidly swallowed up and absorbed by the greater Powers who were contending for the world’s empire. Meshech and Tubal, like Persia, do not appear at this time to have yet attained their greatest development.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 32:26
Verse 26. There is Meshech, Tubal] See on Ezekiel 27:13.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 32:26
26. Meshech and Tubal. See on Ezekiel 27:13; cf. Ezekiel 38:2. her graves … him] On genders cf. Ezekiel 32:22. though they caused] for they caused.
