In the ninth year
This phrase marks a specific point in time, which is crucial for understanding the historical context of Ezekiel's prophecies. The "ninth year" refers to the ninth year of King Jehoiachin's exile, which places this event around 588 BC. This was a tumultuous period for the Israelites, as they were under Babylonian captivity. The precision of this dating underscores the reliability and historical accuracy of the biblical narrative, reminding us that God's interventions in history are both timely and purposeful.

in the tenth month on the tenth day
The specificity of the date highlights the importance of the message that follows. In the Hebrew calendar, the tenth month is Tevet. This exact dating is significant because it coincides with the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, as recorded in 2 Kings 25:1. The precision of this date serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over time and history, and His intimate involvement in the affairs of nations and individuals.

the word of the LORD
This phrase is a powerful declaration of divine revelation. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just spoken words but an active, dynamic force. The "word of the LORD" is not merely information; it is a living, creative power that accomplishes God's purposes. This reminds us of the authority and effectiveness of God's word, as seen in creation and throughout biblical history.

came to me
The personal nature of this phrase emphasizes the role of Ezekiel as a prophet and intermediary between God and His people. The Hebrew verb "came" (hayah) suggests an encounter or happening, indicating that Ezekiel is not merely a passive recipient but an active participant in receiving and delivering God's message. This underscores the relational aspect of prophecy, where God chooses individuals to convey His will to His people.

saying
This word introduces the content of God's message. In Hebrew, "saying" (amar) is often used to introduce direct speech, indicating that what follows is a direct communication from God. This highlights the clarity and directness with which God communicates His will, ensuring that His message is understood and heeded. It serves as a reminder of the importance of listening to and obeying God's voice in our lives.

(1) In the tenth day of the month.--Jehoiachin's captivity (by which all these prophecies are dated) coincided with Zedekiah's reign. The date here given is therefore the same as in Jeremiah 39:1; Jeremiah 52:4; 2Kings 25:1, and was afterwards observed by the Jews as a fast (Zechariah 8:19). It was doubtless the day on which the investment of the city was completed.

Verse 1. - In the ninth year. We pass from the date of Ezekiel 20:1 ( B.C. 593) to B.C. 590, and the very day is identified with that on which the army of Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem (Jeremiah 39:1; 2 Kings 25:1-12). To the prophet's vision all that was passing there was as plain as though he saw it with his own eyes. The siege lasted for about two years. The punishments threatened in Ezekiel 23, had at last come near. We may probably infer that a considerable interval of silence had followed on the Aholah and Aholibah discourse. Now the time had come to break that silence, and it was broken, after the prophet's manner, by a parable. In the "rebellious house" we find, as in Ezekiel 2:3 and elsewhere, primarily Ezekiel's immediate hearers, secondarily the whole house of Israel as represented by them.
