Ezek. 30:1–19 The third of the seven anti-Egypt oracles is the only undated one. It is comprised of four related prophecies. Each is introduced by Thus says the Lord (vv. 2, 6, 10, 13) and each echoes themes seen elsewhere in Ezekiel’s oracles. Together they announce the fall of Egypt and her allies to Nebuchadnezzar (v. 10).
Ezek. 30:2–5 The cry of the day (v. 2) and the announcement that the day is near (v. 3) point to the “day of the Lord” concept seen in 7:10–27 (see notes on Ezekiel 7:10–27 there). Ezekiel combines this theme with the “sword of the Lord” in a subtle way at 21:8–10, but here the connection is clearer with the reference to the sword.
Ezek. 30:13–19 Since Ezekiel uses so many place names, he obviously knows Egypt well (see 29:14; compare Mic. 1:10–15). Each place is linked to a judgment that will fall upon it. The places and things that are judged amount to a complete rejection of Egyptian religion and politics.
Ezek. 30:20–26 The dates return in this fourth Egypt oracle, locating this unit in April 587 b.c. This oracle contrasts the weakness of Hophra’s forces with the might of Babylon.
Ezek. 30:23 scatter . . . and disperse (see also v. 26). This language appeared in 29:12. The fear of being displaced from the Promised Land is one of the strongest in the OT (e.g., Gen. 11:4; compare Ezek. 28:24–26).
