1The word of Hashem came to me:

2O mortal, set your face toward Teman, and proclaim to Darom, and prophesy against the brushland of the Negev.

21:2 Prophesy against the brushland of the Negev
Repeating his warning of Yerushalayim’s imminent destruction, Yechezkel uses the metaphor of a forest fire that will burn without control until all the trees of the forest, dry and healthy alike, are consumed. In Israel’s arid climate, forest fires are extremely dangerous, spreading quickly and leaving behind tremendous destruction. Before giving him this prophecy, Hashem tells Yechezkel to look southward in the direction of Israel, and uses three Hebrew words for ‘south’, tayman (תימן), darom (דרום) and negev (נגב). In the following verse, however, only the word negev is used. In addition to ‘south’, negev also means ‘dry,’ and refers to the desert region of southern Israel. After the fire, all of Israel will be like the negev — a barren, lifeless desert.

Ein Akev in the Zin Valley in the Negev desert.

3Say to the brushland of the Negev: Hear the word of Hashem. Thus said Hashem: I am going to kindle a fire in you, which shall devour every tree of yours, both green and withered. Its leaping flame shall not go out, and every face from south to north shall be scorched by it.

4Then all flesh shall recognize that I Hashem have kindled it; it shall not go out.

7O mortal, set your face toward Yerushalayim and proclaim against her sanctuaries and prophesy against the land of Yisrael.

8Say to the land of Yisrael: Thus said Hashem: I am going to deal with you! I will draw My sword from its sheath, and I will wipe out from you both the righteous and the wicked.

10and all flesh shall know that I Hashem have drawn My sword from its sheath, not to be sheathed again.

11And you, O mortal, sigh; with tottering limbs and bitter grief, sigh before their eyes.

12And when they ask you, “Why do you sigh?” answer, “Because of the tidings that have come.” Every heart shall sink and all hands hang nerveless; every spirit shall grow faint and all knees turn to water because of the tidings that have come. It is approaching, it shall come to pass—declares Hashem.

14O mortal, prophesy and say: Thus said Hashem: A sword! A sword has been whetted and polished.

15It has been whetted to wreak slaughter; [therefore] it has been ground to a brilliant polish. How can we rejoice? My son, it scorns the rod and every stick.

16It has been given to be polished and then grasped in the hand; for this has the sword been whetted, for this polished—to be put into the hand of a slayer.

17Cry and wail, O mortal, for this shall befall My people, this shall befall all the chieftains of Yisrael: they shall be cast before the sword together with My people; oh, strike the thigh [in grief].

18Consider: How shall it fail to happen, seeing that it even scorns the rod?—says Hashem.

19Further, O mortal, prophesy, striking hand against hand. Let the sword strike a second time and yet a third time; it is a sword for massacre, a sword for great carnage, that presses upon them.
