The Nations in the Book of Ezekiel

چکیده
The question posed to our panel was left undefined intentionally so that there would be a variety of possibilites for development. Without attempting to be exhaustive I offer a list of some of those possibilities: the relationship between Ezekiel's oracles against foreign nations and similar collections in Amos, Isaiah, and Jeremiah; the Gog of Magog pericope; the conspiracy of the nations mentioned in Jer 27:3 and its relationship to the date and purpose of Ezekiel's call; the use of the word goyim in the book of Ezekiel; and the oracles against foreign nations in Ezekiel itself, particularly chaps. 25-32 and chap. 35. It is these oracles to which I will address my attention, with short reference first to the use of the word goyim in the book of Ezekiel.
