Abstract

The context of the research was the issue that different investigators proposed various structures of the text under scrutiny. The research goal was to develop a structure that was included in the text by an ancient inspired author. The method of Hebrew rhetoric – developed by Roland Meynet – was used for this purpose. It was feasible to discover the structure of the text analysed. It is a parallel construction with the following scheme: A – B – C – C’ – B’ – A’. Conclusions: the image of God that emerges from the Book of Ezekiel is Almighty God. The God of Israel can do anything, even make Nebuchadnezzar an instrument of punishment for both Israel and Egypt. Moreover, conducting research into the Hebrew rhetoric in the book of Ezekiel must continue, as most of the oracles and visions are still not developed.
