Context — God's Judgment on Egyptgenerated

12I will make your hordes fall by the swords of the mighty, the most ruthless of all nations. They will ravage the pride of Egypt and all her multitudes will be destroyed.
13I will slaughter all her cattle beside the abundant waters. No human foot will muddy them again, and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
14Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’ declares the Lord GOD.
15‘When I make the land of Egypt a desolation and empty it of all that filled it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.’

Ezekiel 32:13 describes God's intention to slaughter the cattle of Egypt, emphasizing His control over the land's resources. This is part of a broader judgment against Egypt, where God ensures that the abundant waters remain undisturbed, symbolizing peace and order amidst destruction. The surrounding verses highlight the severity of the judgment and the desolation that will come upon the land, as seen in Ezekiel 32:12 and Ezekiel 32:14.

The Key Word אֲבַדְתִּי, 'a.vad.Tigenerated

The verb אָבַד (abad) is a Hiphil form, indicating causation, meaning 'to destroy' or 'to cause to perish.' This word encompasses a range of meanings, including dying, vanishing, and destruction, often in a context of divine judgment.

The parsing as a sequential perfect first person common singular indicates that God is the one actively bringing about this destruction. The use of this verb in the context of livestock suggests a complete and decisive action against Egypt's resources.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses slaughter for the verb אֲבַדְתִּי. The KJV and ASV also use destroy, maintaining the sense of total loss.

Where translations differ is in the rendering of רַבִּ֑ים, with the BSB using abundant, while the KJV opts for great. The ASV and YLT also choose many, which aligns with the sense of quantity.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb אֲבַדְתִּי governs the entire verse, indicating the action taken by God. It is followed by a noun phrase that specifies the object of destruction, and multiple prepositional phrases that describe the context of the action.

The structure emphasizes the totality of the destruction, with the main clause asserting God's intent and the subsequent clauses detailing the conditions under which the waters will remain undisturbed.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates אֲבַדְתִּי as ἀπολῶ (apolō), which carries the meaning of 'to destroy' or 'to lose.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, emphasizing the act of destruction.

The use of ὕδατος for מַיִם indicates a direct correspondence in meaning, highlighting the importance of the waters in the context of the prophecy.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Ezekiel 32:13 tells us that God will destroy all the livestock of Egypt near the abundant waters. No human foot will muddy the waters again, and no animal hooves will disturb them. This indicates a total judgment against Egypt and a restoration of peace in the waters.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean that God will slaughter the cattle?

This signifies God's judgment against Egypt, where the livestock represents the nation's resources and livelihood, indicating total destruction.

Why will no human foot muddy the waters?

This emphasizes that the waters will remain undisturbed, symbolizing peace and order after the destruction of Egypt.

What is the significance of the abundant waters?

The abundant waters represent life and sustenance, and their preservation after judgment signifies God's control over creation.

How does this verse connect to the overall message of Ezekiel?

This verse reflects Ezekiel's theme of judgment and restoration, where God's actions lead to both destruction and eventual peace.


Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. What does God's judgment on Egypt teach us about His sovereignty over nations?
  2. How can we understand the symbolism of water in relation to God's provision?
  3. What does it mean for us today that God ensures peace after judgment?
  4. In what ways can we reflect on the consequences of our actions in light of God's authority?
