Ezekiel 32:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:17

It came to pass also the twelfth year
Another prophecy of the like kind was delivered out the same year as before: in the fifteenth day of the month;
of the twelfth month, the month Adar, which is not here expressed, because mentioned before, ( Ezekiel 32:1 ) , it was about a fortnight after the other prophecy. The Septuagint and Arabic versions read it,

``it came to pass in the twelfth year, the first month, the fifteenth day of the month;''

according to which this prophecy was before the other, which is not to be supposed.

Ezekiel 32:17 In-Context

15 In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And desolated hath been the land of its fulness, In My smiting all the inhabitants in it, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.

16 A lamentation it [is], and they have lamented her, Daughters of the nations do lament her, For Egypt, and for all her multitude, they lament her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

17 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,

18 `Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It -- and the daughters of honourable nations, Unto the earth -- the lower parts, With those going down to the pit.

19 Than whom hast thou been more pleasant? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
