Ezekiel 32:15 meaning and explanation

Ezekiel 32:15, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Ezekiel 32 is a lament over Pharaoh and Egypt, spoken by the prophet in Babylon during the exile. Verses 11 to 15 announce that Babylon's sword will strip Egypt of its wealth and people, and verse 15 gives the purpose of that judgment: when the land is emptied, "then they will know that I am the LORD." The phrase echoes throughout Ezekiel, where judgment and restoration alike aim at the knowledge of God.
