Ezekiel 29:17

“And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, &c.] Of Jeconiah’s captivity; or of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abendana, from Seder Olam Rabbaf524, observe; though it was in the thirty fifth year of his reign that Tyre was taken by him; and after that Egypt was given him: in the first month, in the first day of the month: the month Nisan, which answers to part of March, and part of April. According to Bishop Usherf525, it was on the twentieth of April, on the third day of the week (Tuesday), in 3432 A.M.or before Christ 572. Mr. Whistonf526 makes it to be a year sooner.

“The departure from the chronological order occurs here only, among the prophecies as to foreign nations, in order to secure greater unity of subject.”

“am 3432, bc 572, Eze 29:1, Eze 1:2 Ezekiel 29:18”

“Conquest and Plundering of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar Eze 29:17. In the seven and twentieth year, in the first (moon), on the first of the moon, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Eze 29:18. Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has made his army perform hard work at Tyre: every head is bald, and every shoulder grazed, and no wages have been given to him and to his army from Tyre for the work which he performed against it. Eze 29:19. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I give Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, the land of Egypt, that he may carry away its possessions, and plunder its plunder, and make booty of its booty, and this may be the wages of his army.
