Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 32

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What is the intent of “kinah” (Ezekiel 32:2)?
  2. Why does “God’s net” appropriately apply to the future of Pharaoh?
  3. How will nature join in the destruction of Egypt (Ezekiel 32:7-8)?
  4. And, again, (Ezekiel 32:11) specifically which polity will destroy Egypt?
  5. The dirge (Ezekiel 32:16) is mourning by whom for whom?
  6. Who are the uncircumcised in Ezekiel 32:19 and Ezekiel 32:21?
  7. Why the repeated refrain of “graves,” the “under-world” and the “pit” (Ezekiel 32:24-25)?
  8. Who is the subject (Ezekiel 32:25)?
  9. What is the purpose of citing other peoples/nations as “dwellers” in the “pit”?
  10. Does the chapter offer any relief/solace to Egypt/Pharaoh?
  11. Is the condemnation/destruction of Egypt because of its attack on Judea or its failure to aid Judea — or neither?
