Ezekiel 32:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:17

It came to pass also the twelfth year

``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.

19 Are you more beautiful than any? go down, and take your rest among those without circumcision,
