  3. What is to be the destiny of these individuals?
  4. Once again (Ezekiel 11:12), what is the cited transgression of this group?
  5. As the prophecy is proceeding (Ezekiel 11:13), what transpires with one of the officers?
  6. Why does the prophet express dismay? What is his fear?
  7. Although the Israelites are scattered, what is the unifying element as reflected in the phrase “mikdash me’at”?
  8. Eventually (Ezekiel 11:17), what is the destiny of Israel?
  9. What is the “new spirit” mentioned in Ezekiel 11:19?
  10. Do the passages in Ezekiel 11:17-21, then, offer hope for the future of Israel?
