Commentary on Ezekiel 29:19

Theological / Devotional

Unto Nebuchadrezzar. Cuneiform tablets of Nebuchadnezzar tell of a campaign against Egypt in the king’s 37th year (see J. B. Pritchard, editor, Ancient Near Eastern Texts, p. 308). The tablet is broken off, so that the complete account of the campaign is not known. This is believed to be the event here referred to by Ezekiel. For a more complete discussion of the historical aspects of the problem see on Jer. 46:13; see also Vol. Ill, p. 46. For a discussion of the variant spelling, “Nebuchadrezzar,” see on Dan. 1:1.
