Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 19 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 19

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

The dirge compares Israel to what powerful animals in the natural world?
In Ezekiel 19:9, reference is made to “being carried off to the king of Babylon.” To whom does this refer?
Does this “dirge” appear to be consistent with the earlier prophecies of Ezekiel regarding Judea, Babylonia, and Egypt?
How is Israel described in Ezekiel 19:10-11 at the time of its glory?
And what has become of the “vine” as described in Ezekiel 19:12-13?
Why does the prophet describe these passages (Ezekiel 19:14) as “a familiar dirge”?
