Abstract
This chapter studies the place of the prophet Ezekiel in the forming of social memory in post-monarchic Yehud. It does so by asking which central ‘sites’ of memory in post-monarchic Yehud came to be associated with this prophetic figure and, conversely, how reading and rereading the traditions associated with the figure of Ezekiel would have impacted such sites of memory. To this effect, the chapter discusses various key aspects of social memory in Ezekiel, especially the construction of ‘exile’ and ‘return’; the definition of pre- and post-monarchic ‘Israel’; the relation between social memory and the visionary imaginaire of the departing deity and the new temple in Jerusalem; and the representation of kingship and the construction of YHWH as an imperial ruler.
