Ezekiel32:6

6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest , even to the mountains ; and the rivers shall be full of thee .

Most plentifully pour out thy blood, as water is poured out to water Land, when men float their grounds.

Either because of the plenty thereof, wherein they swim'd, as we speak, or else because this King was a Whale, or Crocodile, his dwelling must be the Waters, and in them he swimmeth.

An Hyperbole, blood shall be poured sorth, as if it were to rise to the very mountains, and cover them, or thy blood shall be shed through all thy plain Countrey, to the very Mountains, which I think are toward the South-west parts toward Aethiopia; so they should be slain from Migdol or Magdala to Syene, as chap. 29.10.

Of thy Blood, and of thy Carcasses cast into the Rivers by thine Enemies, or drown'd in attempting flight by water from the drawn sword.

Marginal references: Or, the land of thy swimming.
