Ezekiel 32:1

Lamentation for Pharaoh and Egypt

1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the ^atwelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, ^atake up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:
^b‘You are like a young lion among the nations,
And ^cyou are like a monster in the seas,
^dBursting forth in your rivers,
Troubling the waters with your feet,
And ^efouling their rivers.

3 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“I will therefore ^aspread My net over you with a company of many people,
And they will draw you up in My net.

Ezekiel 32:1

In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month - On Wednesday, March 22, the twelfth year of the captivity of Jeconiah, A.M. 3417.

Instead of the twelfth year, five of Kennicott' s MSS., and eight of De Rossi' s, read in the eleventh year. This reading is supported by the Syriac; and is confirmed by an excellent MS. of my own, about four hundred years old.
