Exegesis
The noun goyim {גּוֹיִם | gō-yim} ‘nations’ acts as the plural subject, modified by the adverb saviv {סָבִיב | sā-viv} ‘around’ and the prepositional phrase mimmedinot {מִמְּדִינֹת | mim-mə-dî-nōt} ‘from provinces’, together framing the scope of the attack.
In context — Ezekiel 19:8
Then the nations gathered against him on every side from the provinces ; they cast their net over him, and he was caught in their pit.
