New Defender's Study Bible Notes

32:23 Whose graves. The bodies of the lost are in graves, whereas their souls are in “hell” (Hebrew sheol). These graves are “in the sides of the pit” or “round about” the pit (Ezekiel 32:25-26)—that is, in the crust of the earth which surrounds the great pit at its center. Bodies and souls will be reunited at the great judgment. See notes on Daniel 12:2 and Revelation 20:13.
