The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Two distinct messages:
(1) From Ezekiel 30:1-19 a repetition of Ezekiel 29:1-16, with fuller details of lifelike distinctness. The date is probably not long after that mentioned in Ezekiel 29:17, "the seven and twentieth year, in the first month:" on the eve of Nebuchadnezzar's march against Egypt after subjugating Tyre.
(2) A vision relating directly to Pharaoh and the overthrow of his kingdom, communicated at an earlier date, the seventh of the first month of the eleventh year: about three months after the date, Ezekiel 29:1, "the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month," and three months before the taking of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.
