বহুদিনৰ পাছত তোমাৰ সৈন্য সমূহ গোটোৱা হ’ব; তৰোৱালৰ মুখৰ পৰা ৰক্ষা পোৱা, অনেক জাতি সমূহৰ পৰা গোটোৱা লোকসকলৰ দেশলৈ, বহুকালৰ পৰা উচ্ছন্ন হোৱা ইস্ৰায়েলৰ পৰ্ব্বতবোৰলৈ বচৰবোৰৰ শেষ ভাগত তুমি যাত্ৰা কৰিবা; কিন্তু সেই দেশৰ লোকসকলক জাতিবোৰৰ মাজৰ পৰা উলিওৱা হ’ল আৰু তেওঁলোক আটায়ে নিৰাপদে বাস কৰিছে!

Historical Background

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this around 593-571 BC during the Babylonian exile. The audience was the Israelites in exile, and the cultural setting was one of despair and longing for restoration, with a strong belief in divine intervention and promises of a restored homeland.
