Contextual Overview

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, saying: 2 'Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this selfsame day; this selfsame day the king of Babylon hath invested Jerusalem. 3 And utter a parable concerning the rebellious house, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it; 4 Gather into it the pieces belonging to it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 5 Take the choice of the flock, and pile also the bones under it; make it boil well, that the bones thereof may also be seethed in the midst of it. 6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose filth is therein, and whose filth is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; no lot is fallen upon it. 7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; 8 that it might cause fury to come up, that vengeance might be taken, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered. 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great, 10 heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, that the flesh may be consumed; and preparing the mixture, that the bones also may 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.
