Babylon, ~571 BC. Ezekiel promises the ultimate intimacy — God's Spirit poured out like water. Modern Iraq...
The emotion here: ecstatic about intimacy being restored between God and His people
The original word
šāp̄aḵ (שָׁפַךְ) — to pour out completely, like emptying a pitcher until nothing remains
Why it matters
This Spirit-pouring wouldn't happen for 600 more years at Pentecost
