Ver. 1. In the tenth month, the tenth day of the month.] This was revealed to Ezekiel in Babylon. Eze 24:1 And although this day of the tenth month was by the law appointed for a day of expiation or atonement, Lev 16:29-31 yet now "an end was come, the end was come, it watched against them, behold, it was come, an evil, an only evil was come, was come," as Ezekiel hath it. Eze 7:5-6 This the poor captives afterward bewailed in their anniversary fast on this day kept. Zec 8:19
And they built forts against it round about.] Of the greatness of this army environing so great a city, see Jeremiah 34:1 .
