Ezekiel 29 - Introduction

In Ezek. 29–32 we read prophecies against Egypt which, uttered (with the exception of Ezekiel 29:17 to the end) in regular succession, predict the downfall of Pharaoh Hophra and the desolation of Egypt.

Ezekiel 29:1: the first prophecy against Egypt delivered some months before the preceding prophecies against Tyre (see Ezekiel 26:1), the prophecies against the nations being given, not in their chronological, but in their geographical order, according to their nearness to Jerusalem.
