Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 25

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. To whom is the prophecy in Ezekiel 25 addressed in the opening passages (Ezekiel 25:2)?
  2. Has Amon been “friendly” to Judea in its time of travail?
  3. Why the severe punishment to Amon (Ezekiel 25:6-7)?
  4. In Ezekiel 25:5 the prophet continues but with another “neighbor” of Judea — what country?
  5. In Ezekiel 25:12 the castigation of nearby countries continues — specifically with what country?
  6. And, in Ezekiel 25:15 yet another of the “neighbors” of Judea is castigated — which group?
  7. Would it be correct to say, then, that the prophet is indicating that the “joy” evidenced by the countries surrounding Judea, when Judea was destroyed, would be recompensed by their own destruction and travail?
