Popis: Summary This paper reviews parts of the evidence for Babylonian influence on the book of Ezekiel. Some of the evidence is likely to be explicable in terms of a shared ancient Near Eastern cultural background, while other aspects may have filtered into the author’s literary consciousness through everyday contact. However, some of the evidence is more difficult to explain in that way. Instead, the author tentatively suggests another possible route by which the author(s) of the book may have acquired the necessary learning: cuneiform schooling.
