Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Шаблон:Sfn Fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, that is, 11Q4 (11QEzek; 50 BCE–50 CE) with extant verses 9–12.Шаблон:Sfn

There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>^B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>^A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>^Q; 6th century).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn

Structure

American biblical commentator Julie Galambush divides this chapter into three sections, verses 1–4, 5-9 and 10–27, "which seem to build on [the prophet] Amos's announcement of the day of YHWH (Amos 8:1-10), a day traditionally celebrating the Divine Warrior's conquest of his enemies, but which the prophets re-envisioned as a day of judgement against Israel".Шаблон:Sfn Each section announces Israel's doom and concludes with the recognition formula: "and ye (they) shall know that I am the LORD",Шаблон:Sfn in the latter parts of verses 4, 9 and 27.

Verse 2

Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel;

An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

The phrase "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם Шаблон:Strong-number-Шаблон:Strong-number) is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.Шаблон:Sfn The "land of Israel" refers to the Kingdom of Judah, as the ten tribes of northern Israel had already been carried captive. Theologian John Gill dates this prophecy to the sixth year of King Zedekiah (around 591 BC).

Verse 19

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Verses 19-23 predict in veiled language the Babylonian capture and desecration of the Jerusalem temple.Шаблон:Sfn

• "The stumbling block of their iniquity": from Hebrew: Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Strong-number Шаблон:Strong-number, is a phrase unique to the prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 14:3, Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb; Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb).

Verse 25

Destruction comes; they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Destruction: literally "shuddering", also translated as "anguish".

Verse 27

The king will mourn,

The prince will be clothed with desolation,

And the hands of the common people will tremble.

I will do to them according to their way,

And according to what they deserve I will judge them;

Then they shall know that I am the Lord!

The king and the prince are the same person: Zedekiah. The reference to the king is missing in the Septuagint and, according to the Jerusalem Bible, this may be a later addition, as reference to the king is exceptional in Ezekiel.

• "I will do unto them after their way" (KJV): thus, Israel is "treated precisely as she deserves."Шаблон:Sfn
• "And they shall know that I am the Lord" (KJV): this becomes a recurring theme for Ezekiel, revealing that "the prophet identifies his words as a manifestation of the active presence of God."Шаблон:Sfn
