Read Ezekiel 29.17-21 The second oracle concerning Egypt.
The twenty-seventh year ... the first month ... the first day: April 26, 571 BCE.
Ezekiel refers to Nebuchadnezzar's failure to conquer Tyre as a basis for his campaign against Egypt.
Following the conclusion of his siege against Tyre in 573 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar attacked
Egypt in 668 BCE but failed to conquer the land.
A horn ... for the house of Israel refers to the restoration of the Davidic monarchy in the
aftermath of Egypt's collapse (see Isa 11.1-16; Ps 132.17).
