Abstract

In the light of recent discussions on the Fall narrative of Genesis 3, the text of Ezek. 28:1-19 has come in for considerable comment. A separate treatment of Ezek. 28:11-19 therefore seems appropriate. In this study we shall analyze the basic message of Ezek. 28:11-19 and indicate the importance of the tradition of the fall of the first man reflected in this passage from Ezekiel.
