Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage states that even when other prophetic books were dissected and reassigned to various authors and editors, the Book of Ezekiel “continued to be regarded by most scholars as having come in its entirety from Ezekiel.”
This acceptance was due to its orderliness and symmetry, its careful chronological arrangement and the clear claim that it records prophecies delivered between 593 and 571 B.C. These features made Ezekiel’s work appear well-organised, authentic and historically reliable, unlike other prophetic books that were questioned and re-edited by scholars.
