Ezekiel is one of the big three prophetic works in the Hebrew Bible. The others are Isaiah and Jeremiah. Ezekiel describes events associated with he destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. The book bears a strong resemblance to P.
It claims to represent the words of Ezekiel, a priest who had been exiled with Jehoiachin and others in 598 BCE. His first vision in the book dates (1:2) to the fifth year of Jehoiachin's exile, i.e., 593 BCE. The last date in the book is to the twenty-seventh year (571, 29:17).
