The Book of Ezekiel is remarkable for its extensive knowledge of Old Testament tradition. Individual texts and motifs are cited in the book and are then subjected to literary interpretation. The present study examines these citations and enquires into the significance of the interpretative processes for the growth of this Prophet. The chapters Ez 34-49 are foregrounded, with consideration being given to the text document Papyrus 967 for the Greek text.
