Vom Untergang Ägyptens – Ez 29–32 im Kontext des Ezechielbuches
-
Markus Saur
Abstract
The oracles against the nations in Ezek 25-32, in the centre of the book, illustrate the special interest in the phoenician city of Tyre (Ezek 26-28*) as well as in Egypt and the Pharaoh (Ezek 29-32*). The oracles against Tyre and Egypt are interwoven, as a short passage in Ezek 29:17-20 shows, where some allusions on Tyre can be found within the words against Egypt. By analyzing content and structure of the oracles against Egypt and the Pharaoh some more observations lead to the supposition that these words are the result of a longer process of literary growth. This process is reconstructed in this article with special focus on Ezek 29 and Ezek 31 being the opening texts of the two main parts of the oracles against Egypt and the Pharaoh. In opposition to interpretations of Ezek 29-32 as a more or less isolated collection of oracles, this article intends to show in which way these chapters are connected to and interwoven with other parts of the book. Hereby the article aims to demonstrate that parts of Ezek 29-32 belong to the oldest traditions within the book of Ezekiel.
