Analysis & Commentary

The execution of 'judgments' (Hebrew 'mishpatim'—righteous ordinances) reveals God's character. His judgments aren't arbitrary but reflect His justice and holiness. The covenant formula 'they shall know that I am the LORD' shows that even judgment serves a revelatory purpose—nations recognize God's sovereignty through the fulfillment of His word.

Historical Context

These prophecies were fulfilled within Ezekiel's lifetime as Nebuchadnezzar conquered the Transjordan nations (circa 582 BC), then later Arab tribes completed the dispersion. The historical record validates prophetic accuracy.
