In the eleventh year.
 Of Jehoiachin’s captivity (see on ch. 1:2; see p. 572). This is the year (587/586 B.C.) in which Jerusalem fell, if it coincides with the regnal year of Zedekiah (2 Kings 25:2-4, 8, 9). The month is not given. Some think the prophecy was given after the fall of the city (see Eze. 26:2), and it could have been if Ezekiel was using a fall-to-fall year; however, the reference to the capture of the city may have been anticipatory.
 The prophecies against Ammon, Moab, Edom, and the Philistines were comparatively short. That against Tyre occupies three chapters (chs. 26-28); that against Egypt, the most important foreign nation denounced by Ezekiel, four chapters.
