G3 tells the nachash he will be cursed more than all cattle and every created beast. On his belly he will go and will eat dust (dirt) all the days of his life. E28 strikes the nachash from the mountain of God and destroys him from among the stones of fire (divine council). He has been cast to the ground. The word translated as “ground” is “erets”. The word usually means “earth” as in the ground, but in Ugaritic (much of Ezekiel 28 tracks Ugaritic religious texts) it means “netherworld” which is a synonym for Sheol or the place of the dead. The word is used in this manner in Jonah 2:6.
Look how you have fallen from the sky, O shining one, son of the dawn (Helel ben Shachar) ! You have been cut down to the ground, O conqueror of the nations! You said to yourself, "I will climb up to the sky. Above the stars of El I will set up my throne. I will rule on the mountain of assembly on the remote slopes of Zaphon. I will climb up to the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High!" But you were brought down to Sheol (Hell KJV), to the remote slopes of the pit. (Isaiah 14:12-15 NET)
