Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 29:1

"In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying," — Ezekiel 29:1 (ASV)

The tenth year – Jerusalem had been besieged, but not taken. Jeremiah delivered his prophecy against Egypt, about the time when the approach of Pharaoh Hophra’s army caused the Chaldeans temporarily to raise the siege (Jeremiah 37:5). This was the solitary instance of Egypt meddling with the affairs of Palestine or Syria after the battle of Carchemish (Compare to 2 Kings 24:7); it met with speedy punishment.
