Study note
Setting — The LORD speaks to Ezekiel in the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, delivering a message that precedes a prophecy against Pharaoh and Egypt.
The words — דְבַר (de.var) = word; הָיָה (ha.Yah) = it came. The text records the arrival of the divine communication.

Why it lands — The verse demands attention to the precise historical timing of divine speech, anchoring prophetic revelation in a specific calendar moment.
