Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 33:21

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

21. twelfth year . . . tenth month —a year and a half after the capture of the city ( Jeremiah 39:2 ; Jeremiah 52:5 ; Jeremiah 52:6 ), in the eleventh year and fourth month. The one who escaped (as foretold, Ezekiel 24:26 ) may have been so long on the road through fear of entering the enemy's country [HENDERSON]; or, the singular is used for the plural in a collective sense, "the escaped remnant." Compare similar phrases, "the escaped of Moab," Isaiah 15:9 ; "He that escapeth of them," Isaiah 15:9- : . Naturally the reopening of the prophet's mouth for consolation would be deferred till the number of the escaped remnant was complete: the removal of such a large number would easily have occupied seventeen or eighteen months. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
