Jump to Previous First Month Seven Seventh Twentieth Twenty Twenty-Seventh WordJump to Next First Month Seven Seventh Twentieth Twenty Twenty-Seventh WordEzekiel 29 1. The judgment of Pharaoh for his treachery to Israel8. The desolation of Egypt 13. The restoration thereof after forty years 17. Egypt the reward of Nebuchadnezzar 21. Israel shall be restored In the twenty-seventh year This phrase marks a specific point in time, providing a chronological anchor for the prophecy. The twenty-seventh year refers to the period of the Babylonian exile, which began in 597 BC. This dating is significant as it situates the prophecy within the historical context of Israel's captivity, a time of great upheaval and reflection for the Jewish people. The precision of the date underscores the reliability and historical accuracy of the biblical narrative, reminding us that God's messages are rooted in real-world events and timelines. in the first month on the first day the word of the LORD came to me saying The present utterance may have been either simultaneous with or only just before the conquest of Egypt. Its most probable time is during the early part of the campaign against Egypt. This passage is placed with the other prophecies against Egypt in order to bring them all together, and is assigned to this particular place, after the analogy of Ezekiel 26:7, in order to bring the mention of the agent by whom the conquest is to be effected immediately after the general prophecy of judgment. Verse 17. - In the seven and twentieth, etc. The section that follows has the interest of being, as far as the dates recorded enable us to determine, the latest of Ezekiel's prophecies, and brings us to B.C. 572. It was manifestly inserted at a later date, seventeen years after those which precede and follow it, either by the prophet, as he collected and revised his writings, or by some later editor, as a proof that his earlier predictions had already received, or were on the point of receiving, their fulfillment. The fact that the special word of the Lord came on the first day of the year is not without significance. Then, as now, the beginning of a new year was a time for men generally to look before and after, for a prophet to ask himself what new stage in the order of the Divine government the year was likely to produce.Parallel Commentaries ...
