Contextual Overview

1And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,2"Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day. 3And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it, 4To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, || Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones. 5To take the choice of the flock, || And also to pile the bones under it, || Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst. 6Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, || A pot whose scum [is] in it, || And its scum has not come out of it, || By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it. 7For her blood has been in her midst, || She has set it on a clear place of a rock, || She has not poured it on the earth, || To cover it over with dust. 8To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, || I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered. 9Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great. 10Make the wood abundant, || Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, || And make the compound, || And let the bones be burned.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Again, in the ninth year,.... Of Jehoiachin's captivity, from which the dates of Ezekiel are, and of Zedekiah's reign, which commenced together:

in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month; the month Tebet, which answers to part of our December, and part of January; so that it was at the latter end of December when this prophecy was given out; at which time Jerusalem was besieged by the king of Babylon, even in the winter season:

the word of the Lord came unto me, saying; as follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophecies in this chapter were delivered two years and five months after those of the previous section Ezekiel 20:1. The day mentioned here was the very day on which Nebuchadnezzar completed his arrangements for the siege, and closed in the city (marginal references). After the captivity this day was regularly observed as a fast day Zechariah 8:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIV

The prophet now informs those of the captivity of the very day

on which Nebuchadnezzar was to lay siege to Jerusalem,

(compare Jeremiah 52:4,)

and describes the fate of that city and its inhabitants by a

very apt similitude, 1-14.

As another sign of the greatness of those calamities the

prophet is forbidden to mourn for his wife, of whom he is to be

deprived; intimating thereby that the sufferings of the Jews

should be so astonishing as to surpass all expressions of

grief; and that private sorrow however affectionate and tender

the object, ought to be absorbed in the public calamities,

15-18.

The prophet, having farther expressed his prediction in plain

terms, intimates that he was to speak to them no more till they

should have the news of these prophecies having been fulfilled,

19-27.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXIV

Verse Ezekiel 24:1. The ninth year — This prophecy was given in the ninth year of Zedekiah, about Thursday, the thirtieth of January, A.M. 3414; the very day in which the king of Babylon commenced the siege of Jerusalem.
