Structure

NKJV groups this chapter into:

Verse 1

Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month,
the word of the Lord came to me, saying, (NKJV)[4]

Cross reference: 2 Kings 25:1-3; Jeremiah 39:1-2; Jeremiah 52:1-6

  • "The tenth month" (of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar): Tevet. The date corresponds to a day in "January 588 BC".[5]

Verse 2

"Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day:
the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day." (KJV)[6]
  • "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם ḇen-'ā-ḏām): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.[7]
  • "Set" (Hebrew: סָמַ֤ךְ sā-maḵ): translated "started his siege" (NKJV); "has laid siege" (NIV); "drew close" (ASV). The Hebrew verb means "lean", "lay", "rest", "support", in the sense of "to place or lay something upon any thing, so that it may rest upon, and be supported by it" or "to lay hand on any thing, so as to lean upon the hand."[8][9]

Verse 24

"Thus Ezekiel is a sign to you; according to all that he has done you shall do;
and when this comes, you shall know that I am the Lord God." (NKJV)[10]
  • "When this comes": Rashi interprets "this" as "the evil".[11]
