-the book of ezekiel is the third of the major prophets in the tanakh and one of the major prophetic books in the old testament, following isaiah and jeremiah-
.
According to the book itself, it records seven visions of the prophet Ezekiel, exiled in Babylon, during the 22 years 593-571 BCE, although it is the product of a long and complex history and does not necessarily preserve the very words of the prophet
The visions, and the book, are structured around three themes: (1) Judgment on Israel (chapters 1–24); (2) Judgment on the nations (chapters 25–32); and (3) Future blessings for Israel (chapters 33–48).[3] Its themes include the concepts of the presence of God, purity, Israel as a divine community, and individual responsibility to God.
(its later influence has included the development of mystical and apocalyptic traditions in second temple and rabbinic judaism and christianity)
