Abstract

The context of the research undertaken was the different description of the structure of the Ez 34 text by different commentators of Ezekiel. The aim of the research was to discover the structure that the ancient author planned and wrote down. The method of Hebrew rhetoric, developed by Roland Meynet, was used. The following research results were achieved: a fragment of Ez 34,1-10 has a parallel-concentric structure with the scheme A, B, C, B', A'. Fragment Ez 34,11-31 also has a parallel-concentric structure with the same scheme A, B, C, B', A'. The conclusion that can be drawn from the text under examination is that the Book of Ezekiel is current today.

Keywords:

The Book of Ezekiel, the prophet Ezekiel, Hebrew rhetoric, parallel-concentric structures, shepherds, flock, sheep
