Ezekiel 32:25

Studie

       

25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.

Edge of the sword

  

The edge of the sword in Genesis 34:26 signifies what is false and evil in a state of combat.

84. Verses 2-3 And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made, and rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, for on that day He rested from all His work which God had created when making it.

The celestial man is 'the seventh day'; and because throughout the six days it has been the Lord at work, that man is called 'His work'. In addition, because conflict at that point ceases, the Lord is said 'to rest from all His work'. It was for this reason that the seventh day was made holy and was called the Sabbath from a word for 'rest'; and it was in this manner that man was created, formed, and made, as may be seen plainly from the words themselves.
