[4] Then will I leave  thee upon the land,  I will cast thee forth  upon the open  field,  and will cause all the fowls  of the heaven  to remain  upon thee, and I will fill  the beasts  of the whole earth  [5] And I will lay  thy flesh  upon the mountains,  and fill  the valleys  with thy height.  [6] I will also water  with thy blood  the land  wherein thou swimmest,  even to the mountains;  and the rivers  shall be full 

What does Ezekiel 32:4-6 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Yahweh would set Pharaoh down in an open field and leave him on dry land, out of his element. Birds and beasts would then devour him (cf. Ezekiel 29:5; Matthew 24:28; Revelation 19:17-18). These animals of prey would carry his flesh and blood to distant mountains (cf. Exodus 7:19; Revelation 8:8) and fill the valleys and ravines with pieces of his carcass. This is a picture of the dispersion of the Egyptians from their land.
