He was among the Jewish exiles taken to Babylon after the fall of Jerusalem in 597 BCE. His prophecies are recorded in the Book of Ezekiel, which is part of the Nevi'im (Prophets) section of the Hebrew Bible. Ezekiel's ministry occurred during a time of great turmoil and transition for the Jewish people, as they faced the destruction of their temple and the challenge of maintaining their faith in a foreign land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2388.htm">chazaq</a> and <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">el</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"God strengthens," two Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ezekiel (2), Jehezkel (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יְחֶזְקֵאל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>God strengtheneth</em>, compare foregoing;
