Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Son
of
Buzi
; a
priest
and one of the four great prophets. He was carried into
captivity
with
Jehoiachin
, about B.C. 600, eleven years before the
destruction
of
Jerusalem
, and labored among the captives about twenty-two years. He faithfully fulfilled his duties, sternly rebuking at
times
, and yet holding out gracious encouragements. His
prophecy
is full of
symbols
and imagery: he not only stated some of his parables, but
acted
them, that they might be seen as well as heard. His style is vigorous and rapid. Ezekiel’s personal history is further referred to under his prophecy.
