The Chebar was likely an irrigation canal in Babylonia, near the settlement of Tel-abib, where Judean exiles lived after Jerusalem’s first deportation. Ezekiel’s return there situates this renewed vision among the exiles, confirming that God’s glory and prophetic commission were present even outside the land of Israel.
