Verse 2

"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt." (NKJV)[2]
  • "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם ḇen-’ā-ḏām): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.[3]
  • "Pharaoh" (Hebrew: פרעה par-‘ōh; Egyptian: pr-±o, "great house"; Greek: Φαραω, Pharao): the title of ancient Egyptian kings, of royal court, and (in new kingdom) of the king, until the Persian invasion.[4][5] The title at the time of the prophecy ("January 7, 587 BCE"[6]) refers to Hophra (c. 589-570 BC) as noted in Jeremiah 44:30 (Ουαφρη[ς] in the Greek Old Testament),[7] written as Apries (Ancient Greek: Ἁπρίης) by Herodotus (ii. 161) and Diodorus (i. 68), Waphres by Manetho, who correctly records that he reigned for 19 years, the fourth king (counting from Psamtik I) of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt.[8]
