Parallels

  • Ezekiel 26:1 (structural): Both open an oracle with a precise dating formula and the standard prophetic introduction 'the word of the LORD came to me,' marking the start of a nation-directed prophecy.
  • Ezekiel 29:1 (verbal): Very similar dating-language and introductory formula; both verses introduce prophecies concerning Egypt/foreign powers using the same prophetic phrasing.
  • Jeremiah 1:2-3 (verbal): Uses the phrase 'the word of the LORD came to me' and frames prophetic messages within a historical time-frame, paralleling Ezekiel's date-stamped oracles.
  • Isaiah 6:1 (thematic): Also locates a prophetic vision by a specific year ('In the year that King Uzziah died'), reflecting the common prophetic practice of anchoring revelations to historical dates.

Parallels

  • Ezekiel 29:3-5 (verbal): Directly parallels Ezekiel’s portrayal of Pharaoh as a sea-monster in the Nile and the image of him lying in the river and fouling its waters; similar vocabulary and oracle against Egypt.
  • Ezekiel 31:2-9 (thematic): Uses the same prophetic technique of comparing a proud ruler/empire to a great creature or plant and tracing sudden downfall (hubris → ruin); both chapters cast imperial pride in natural/monstrous imagery.
  • Isaiah 27:1 (allusion): Invokes the Leviathan/sea-monster motif used elsewhere in the prophets to describe God’s enemies; Ezekiel’s ‘monster in the seas’ imagery echoes Isaiah’s depiction of monstrous foes overcome by YHWH.
  • Exodus 15:4-5 (thematic): The victory motif over Egypt and the drowning of Pharaoh’s forces in the waters (Song of the Sea) resonates with Ezekiel’s river/sea imagery that signals Pharaoh’s humiliation and subjugation by the waters.

Parallels

  • Ezekiel 29:3-4 (verbal): Same oracle-genre and imagery against Egypt—Pharaoh described as a great sea-monster and God speaks of bringing him up/out of the waters; language of dragging up and defeat parallels the net/dragnet motif in Ezek. 32:3.
  • Ezekiel 26:4 (verbal): Earlier Ezekiel prophecy against Tyre uses the explicit phrase of casting/spreading a net over a city and bringing it up with peoples—close verbal parallel in prophetic imagery of capture.
  • Jeremiah 16:16 (thematic): God says He will 'send for many fishers' to gather the people—uses fishing/net imagery for divine gathering and capture of nations/peoples, thematically akin to Ezek. 32:3.
  • Matthew 13:47-50 (thematic): Jesus' parable of the net that gathers all kinds of fish and the subsequent sorting is a New Testament echo of net-as-instrument-of-divine gathering and judgment, thematically parallel to Ezekiel's dragnet imagery.

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, ‘You are like a young lion among the nations; you were like a sea-monster in the seas. You surged in your rivers; you trampled the waters with your feet and besmirched their streams.’ Thus says the Lord GOD: I will spread my net over you with a company of many peoples, and will haul you up upon it.

I will leave you on the open land; I will cast you out upon the surface of the field, and I will make the birds of the heavens rest upon you, and will satisfy all the beasts of the earth from you.

I will give your flesh to the mountains and fill the valleys with your carcass.

I will make the land to drink your blood to the mountains, and the ravines shall be filled with you.

I will cover the heavens with your darkness and darken their stars; I will veil the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not shed its light.

All the lights of heaven I will darken over you, and I will set darkness upon your land, declares the Lord GOD.

I will make the hearts of many peoples to melt when I bring your downfall among the nations, to lands you did not know.

I will set many peoples against you; their kings shall draw the edge of the sword against your faces, and they shall tremble in anguish, each for his life, in the day of your fall.

For thus says the Lord GOD: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come against you.

With the swords of heroes I will make your multitudes fall—tyrants of the nations—all—and they shall plunder the pride of Egypt, and all who are numbered shall perish.

I will destroy every beast out of the many waters; no human foot shall trouble them any more, nor hoofs of beasts trouble them.

I will make their waters thick with you, and their rivers shall be clogged as with oil, says the Lord GOD.

I will make the land of Egypt a desolation and a waste; the land shall be desolate because I have struck every one who dwells in it; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

A lamentation—it is a lamentation—let the daughters of the nations lament it; they shall lament for Egypt and all her multitudes, declares the Lord GOD. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

Son of man, lament the multitude of Egypt and bring her down, and the daughters of the nations shall bring her down to the nether parts, to those who go down into the pit.

Who groans for her? Who brings her low and lays her among the uncircumcised?

In the midst of the valley of the slain they fall; the sword has taken him—its hand has drawn him away, with all his multitudes.

From Sheol the warriors speak to him: his helpers have gone down and lie there—uncircumcised, the slain by the sword.

There is Assyria and all her host round about their graves; all are among the slain who fell by the sword.

They who set their graves in the far reaches—her hosts round her burial-places—all are the slain who fell by the sword, who gave up their strength in the land of the living.

There are Elam and all her multitude round about her tombs— all the slain who fell by the sword; they went down uncircumcised to the lower parts, who gave their vigor in the land of the living and bear their shame with the inhabitants of the pit.

In the midst of the slain they have made their bed; all her multitudes round about her burial place are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, for they gave their strength in the land of the living and bear their reproach with those who go down to the pit.

There is Mesech and all her multitude round about their graves; all are uncircumcised, the slain by the sword, because they gave their strength in the land of the living.

The mighty shall not lie with the uncircumcised who went down to Sheol, with their weapons of war; they have laid their swords under their heads, and their reproach is upon their bones—because of the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. But you shall be broken among the uncircumcised; you shall lie with the slain by the sword.

There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might gave their lands to the slain by the sword—they lie there uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.

There are the princes of the north—all of them—and all the Sidonians who went down by their might; ashamed, they lie uncircumcised with the slain by the sword, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

For I have put his disgrace among the nations and cast him down among the uncircumcised; I have laid the slain of the sword with him—Pharaoh and all his multitudes, declares the Lord GOD.
