Commentary on Ezekiel 29:1

Theological / Devotional

In the tenth year. Of Jehoiachin’s captivity (see on ch. 1:2). The month date here given is Jan., 587 (see p. 572). The prophecy may have been delivered shortly after the time the Babylonians temporarily lifted the siege of Jerusalem because of the approach of the Egyptians under Hophra (Jer. 37:5, 11). Jeremiah had prophesied the failure of that attempt (ch. 37:6-10). The news of these events may have stimulated the exiles to fresh hope in the deliverance of Jerusalem, and Ezekiel’s prophecy against Egypt may have found its occasion in these circumstances.
