What Does Ezekiel 12:26 Mean in the King James?

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 12:26 · KJV

The analysis reads the King James wording.

King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.

THE KEY

Here, the word is not an old message recalled but a matter arriving again.

THE MEANING

The word reaches you again: its return is itself a sign that the address is still unfolding. Speech here is a living matter that arrives in the present, ready to be heard.

WHAT THIS UNDOES

The verse undoes the belief that a word left unfulfilled has been abandoned or emptied of force; “Again” marks renewed address where final silence was assumed.

THE ROOT

דָּבָר

dābār

GROWS FROM

דבר

d-b-r

To speak or declare; the noun can mean a word, matter, or affair.

Dābār holds speech and matter together: what is spoken is also something that can take shape. The word that arrives again is not merely repeated sound; it is a matter still unfolding.

ALSO GROWS

dābār: word, matter, affair

דָּבָר

The same word can name both the utterance and the matter being addressed.

dibbēr: spoke, declared

דִּבֵּר

This verbal form shows the root as speech in action, linking the arriving word to the one who speaks.

THE PATTERN

The divine word is presented as an active arrival that continues to disclose and work.

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Jeremiah 1:4 · KJVThe word arrives as a present address that opens into speech.

And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

1 Samuel 3:21 · KJVThe word is the means by which the LORD makes himself known.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 · KJVThe word is received as living speech that is at work within the hearer.

THE THREAD

Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 12:28 · KJV

Both verses repeat dābār (⁨דָּבָר⁩, word or matter): here the word comes again, and there the spoken word is done. The root links utterance to the matter that takes shape, so the arrival is also the beginning of fulfillment.
