Old Testament

Ezekiel

Ezekiel is a strange book, and it's strange in many ways.

The phrase “The word of the Lord came to me” occurs 50 times in Ezekiel.

In Ezekiel's second vision he is brought to the Jerusalem temple.

The passage is replete with redundancies, confusion of gender, omitted articles, missing verbs, obscure allusions.
