Ezekiel 32:7

And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

When I shall put thee out - when I shall extinguish thy light (). Pharaoh is represented as a bright star, at the extinguishing of whose light in the political sky the whole heavenly host are shrouded in sympathetic darkness. Here, too (as in there was an allusion to the plague of turning the rivers into blood), there is an allusion to the supernatural darkness sent formerly (). The heavenly bodies are often made images of earthly dynasties (, "The stars of heaven, and the constellations thereof, shall not give their light;" ).
