Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 32:3

"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will spread out my net upon thee with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net." — Ezekiel 32:3 (ASV)

Spread out my net over thee. —The figure (Ezekiel 32:4–6) of drawing the crocodile to land and casting him upon the desert for food to the birds and beasts of prey is the same as in Ezekiel 29:4-5. (Compare to Ezekiel 31:12-13.) In Ezekiel 32:6, the land wherein thou swimmest is, literally, the land of your outflow, and may be understood as either the land on which his blood is poured out, or, more probably, the land of the inundations of the Nile, now to be watered with blood.
