Bible Question: In ezekiel ch.17 What is the riddle behind that parable ? |
Bible Answer: PWATKINSJR, Ezekiel 17:11-21 explains the parable. The footnotes from the NAB version on Ezekiel 17 may help you understand. "Footnotes "1 [11-21] These verses explain the foregoing allegory. In 597 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar removed King Jehoiachin and took him into exile; in his place he set Zedekiah, Jehoiachin's uncle, on the throne and received from him the oath of loyalty. But Zedekiah was beguiled into rebellion by Pharaoh Hophra of Egypt, and thereby merited punishment; cf 2 Kings 24:10-25:7." "2 [22-23] I, too, will take from the crest of the cedar . . . plant it: the Lord will restore Israel under a messianic King from the same Davidic dynasty." http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/ezekiel/ezekiel17.htm In particular verse 13 applies to the "seed" in verse 5., "a man of royal line" Zedikiah, to replace Jehohiachin.
