La redazione finale di Ezechiele in rapporto allo schema tripartito

Various scholars have shown the presence of an apocalyptic writing or at least traces of apocalyptic origin in the book of Ezechiel. This study attempts to reconstruct such “apocalyptic” writing in Ezechiel, putting it in relation with the hypothesis that the author proposes for many years and which he calls “the cultual scheme of foundation”. The article begins with examining Ez 21:33-37 and Ez 35, which seem to be in conflict with the proposed cultual outline, according to which the oracles against the nations would have been present in the second part of the book and in the section of chapters 25-32. The analysis discovers in the frame of the final writing “diachronic reading” in two moments, which entirety constitute the process of escatologization of Ezechiel. It means an unitary and rapid process that, together with textual additions and successive insertions, begins the apocaliptization of the work. The article systematically examines such a genetic process in the book.
