  1. Where<\/em>? Where are the prophets prophesying – in Babylonia or in Jerusalem? Perhaps both? From the punishment it seems that they are in Babylonia: \u201cThey shall not remain in the assembly of My people, they shall not be inscribed in the lists of the House of Israel, and they shall not come back to the land of Israel\u201d (9). But perhaps the prophets in verses 10-17 who prophesy to Jerusalem are in a different group, acting in the city.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The art of whitewashing<\/em>. The people, cut off from reality and from God\u2019s word, are likened to those building a wall. The false prophets plaster it, strengthen it, and give it its outer appearance. But if there is no truth to it – then it\u2019s just whitewashing. The rain will come and wash off the plaster, and even ruin the wall (verses 10-15).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Hunting the people down<\/em>. The prophetesses are said to engage in <\/span>tzayid nefashot<\/span><\/i>, hunting people (literally \u201csouls\u201d or \u201clives\u201d), and God promises to release those caught by their wiles. Their very tools and dress are described as part of the traps that must be ripped away to free the entrapped souls (see the \u2018pads\u2019 and the \u2018bonnets\u2019 – verses 18, 20-21).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Values in conflict<\/em>. The prophets disrupt Ezekiel\u2019s mission in the realm of political-theological consciousness. The prophetesses impede his mission as the watchman, that is, as the one who warns the evildoer about the implications of his actions so that he takes revenge (details in chapter 3).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
