67 Pharaoh The Crocodile Exposed
Series Ezekiel
76
The Lord tells Pharaoh Hophra he was likened to a lion on land but was really more like a crocodile in the water (Ezekiel 29:3). Because both of these animals represent strength and invincibility God is saying that he was feared. The crocodile is not usually out in the open to be seen. It hides and then attacks utilizing the advantage of surprise. The text continues with the action of the crocodile (sea monster) breaking forth out of its hiding place in the rivers. This characterization represents Pharaoh’s moving outside the normal Egyptian boundaries with his armies. The troubling of the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers is indicative of nature of Egypt’s conquests of the neighboring lands.
