Da'ath Sofrim: Book of Yehezkel

Da'ath Sofrim: Book of Yehezkel (Ezekiel)
by Rabbi Chaim Dov Rabinowitz, edited by Shalom Kaplan, Dr. Zvi Faier, and Rabbi N. Vogel

Translator's Preface
No prophet of God says anything that contradicts the words of any other prophet, and everything the prophecy of Moses. All prophetic substance is anticipated in the Torah, and each prophet transmits that word of God required for his or her generation. If different generation s present similar challenges to the contemporary prophets, to that extend the issues they address overlap: and we indeed find a great deal of overlap.

In the Book of Ezekiel, exceptionally, much is unique. For one; by means of extraordinary imagery, the prophet reports on a grand interactive order of created existence-traditionally referred to as The Chariot Story- not explicitly recorded in any of the Five Books of Moses. What was it about his age that made it necessary for Ezekiel ben Buzi to speak of this and other ostensibly esoteric matters? What is their significance generally, for all the time?

His prophetic visions came to him outside the land of Israel
And they relate to what happened prior, during and following the destruction of the First Temple. He speaks of the resurrection of the dry bones the redemption, and describes in detail the future Holy temple whose design incorporates novel features.
The Da'ath Sofrim Commentary, here rendered into English,
is a lucid attempt at comprehending the mighty contents of the Book of Ezekiel.
