  Ezekiel on Encyclopedia.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The book is a collection of oracles emanating from the career of the priest Ezekiel, who preached to Jews of the Babylonian captivity from 593 BC to 563 BC (according to the chronology given in the book itself in chapters 1 and 2).
These chapters include Ezekiel's symbolic actions, his indictment of Judah and Israel, the abomination in the Jerusalem Temple, and the vision of the chariot-throne, which is significant for later Jewish mysticism.

 Wright: Qumran Pseudepigrapha in Early Christianity
Several of the extant fragments reprise portions of the biblical Ezekiel, especially the Merkevah Vision (Ezekiel 1, 10) and the Vision of the Dry Bones (Ez ekiel 37).
It clearly refers to Ezekiel's vision of the Valley of the Dry Bones, but the citation contains several important variations from the biblical version which correspond to the vision as it is reported in 4Q385 2.
Thus, Ezekiel's q uestions might be taken in the first instance to address the restored community of the text, in the second, the community that is reading the work.

 Apocrypha, Deuterocanonical Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The probabilities favour the hypothesis that the Baruch apocryphon is an imitation of that of Esdras and therefore later.
This apocryphon abounds in absurdities and psychological impossibilities, and is a very weak piece of fiction written in Greek by an Alexandrian Jew, and probably designed to encourage its countrymen in the midst of persecutions.
The apocryphon is attributed by critics to the first quarter of the second century and is therefore one of the earliest specimens of non-canonical literature.

At this point, it would be good to read the whole of Ezekiel 16, a long chapter of 63 verses which introduces three cities, Sodom, Samaria, and Jerusalem, and compares them in regard to their sinful activities.
Even Sodom and Gomorrah will be restored to their former estate, and by Ezekiel's prophecy, will have "restored Jerusalem" to oversee her future, to care for her as though she were her own daughter.
For some this may mean a rather painful time of gradual awareness, like Jerusalem of Ezekiel's day, until they shut their mouths for ever, and accept their guilt and shame.

 Bernstein: Categories and Functions
The Apocryphon moves to a third person narrative at the beginning of Genesis 14 and continues to Genesis 15, whose equivalent is interrupted by the end of the manuscript (end of column 22).
It is possible that some sources of the Apocryphon may have been completely pseudepigraphic, both externally and internally, from a formal standpoint and that the editor of the Apocryphon integrated their first person form into his narrative.
He distinguishes correctly between Jubilees and the Apocryphon and suggests that the Apocryphon "provides reliability for its narrative by placing it on the lips of the characters themselves." I am not certain whether the first person speeches and narratives are directed at asserting reliability or creating vividness.

 Ezekiel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Traditionally, Ezekiel was thought to have been deported to Babylon in 597, where he received his call and worked all his life among the exiles.
Alberto Soggin writes: "One particularly striking characteristic of Ezekiel is that the book appears to be in relatively good order—so good, that down to the end of the last century it was presented as a model, apart from a text which in many places is far from easy.
We do not hear of any disciples whom Ezekiel may have had, but since he regularly received the elders of Judah, a school or at least a circle could (that is, of course, only a possibility) have arisen which transmitted his words and meditated on them.

Ezekiel’s emphasis on the High Priest Zadok and his descendants is evident in the community’s self designation: Sons of Zadok.
The story of the conception of Noah from the Genesis Apocryphon shows that there was a tradition in the time of the writing of the DSS that the sons of God according to Genesis 6 were references to angels.

 Abstract: 4QPseudo-Ezekiel and the Apocryphon of Ezekiel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
This paper evaluates the witnesses to the existence of an Apocryphon of Ezekiel and concurs that such a work existed before 200 CE.
This paper finds the oft-cited evidence of Josephus' reference to two books by Ezekiel and of the mention of an Ezekiel pseudepigraphon in Stichometry of Nicephorus to be unreliable for establishing the existence of the Apocryphon.
Since the discovery of the fragments that have come to be called 4QPseudo-Ezekiel (4Q385, 386, 388, 391), the possibility of a relationship between this text from the Qumran library and the so-called Apocryphon of Ezekiel, a text only extant in a handful of Patristic quotations, has been pondered.

 Chapter 31: Development of the Canon
During the Exile, Ezekiel's teaching that disobedience to Yahweh's will had brought divine punishment underscored the importance of those laws that purported to reveal what Yahweh demanded.
The contents of the prophetic canon appear to have been established between the fourth and second centuries in two general groupings: the Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, I-II Samuel, I-II Kings) and the Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and The Twelve).
Finally, there was a growing desire to determine the official text and to keep that text free of scribal errors, and without an official canon this was almost impossible to accomplish.

 Review of~"Lost Books & Latter-Day Revelation"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Epiphanius (Against Heresies 64.70.5-17) attributes to Ezekiel the story of the blind and lame men, which is also found, without attribution, in TB Sanhedrin 91a-b), but which is unknown from Ezekiel’s writings.
Tertullian (De Carne Christi 23) noted that Ezekiel wrote about a cow that had given birth and had not given birth—a story repeated by Epiphanius (Panarion Haeresies 30.30.3), Gregory of Nyassa (Against the Jews 3), Clement of Alexandria (Stromata 7:16) and in Acts of Peter 24.
From these examples, it is clear that the Ezekiel text possessed by the early Church differed from the one in today’s Bible.

On the other hand, when Ezekiel has his famous vision on the BiQë`aH in the vicinity of the "river Chebar", it is quite clearly set on the great plain of Babylon, which city boasted the Canal Kabaru (literally, the "Grand Canal").
