The Book of Ezekiel is a major prophetic book in the Old Testament, chronicling the visions of Ezekiel, a priest and prophet who lived during the Babylonian captivity. His prophecies include visions of the destruction of Jerusalem, the restoration of the land of Israel, and far-reaching judgments on neighboring nations. Ezekiel’s writings are notable for their symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, reflecting themes of restoration and divine sovereignty. This work is part of Lemaistre de Sacy's larger project to translate the Bible and its commentaries into French, making religious texts more accessible to a broader audience during a time when religious instruction was becoming increasingly vital.
