EZEKIEL 33:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.”
The word of the Lord came to me: 'Son of man, the inhabitants of these waste places in the land of Israel keep saying, "Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land; but we are many; the land is surely given to us for a possession," describing the response of remaining land-dwellers to Judahite exile. Their argument appeals to Abrahamic covenant traditions to justify claims to the desolate land, suggesting that exile's trauma and displacement created theological confusion about God's purposes.
