📜 Historical Context — Why was this verse written?

The book of Ezekiel was written by the prophet Ezekiel to Judean exiles in Babylon during the early 6th century BCE. It was written to provide a vision for the future restoration of Israel, including detailed instructions for a new temple and the sustenance of its priests through offerings, as they would have no land inheritance.
