Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 2:3-5

Ezekiel 2:3-5. I send thee to the children of Israel God had for many ages been sending to them his servants the prophets, but to little purpose: they were now sent into captivity for abusing God’s messengers; and yet even there God raises up and sends a prophet among them, to try if their ears were open to receive instruction, now they were holden in the cords of affliction. To a rebellious nation Hebrew, גוים , nations, the prophet’s commission extending to the dispersed Israelites,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 2:1-10

Sent to a stubborn people (2:1-3:15)In contrast to the glorious and almighty God, Ezekiel is addressed merely as ‘son of man’. This was a Hebrew phrase which here simply means ‘man’ (GNB: mortal man) and which is used consistently throughout the book when Ezekiel is addressed (2:1-2). God was going to send Ezekiel with his message to his rebellious people (3). Ezekiel was warned that he might suffer cruel treatment at the hands of his countrymen, but he had to persevere. Whether they heeded his... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 2:3

3. nation—rather, "nations"; the word usually applied to the heathen or Gentiles; here to the Jews, as being altogether heathenized with idolatries. So in Isaiah 1:10, they are named "Sodom" and "Gomorrah." They were now become "Lo-ammi," not the people of God (Isaiah 1:10- :). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 2:3

The Lord explained that He was sending Ezekiel to the Israelites who were rebellious and had rebelled against Him. The current generation and their forefathers had transgressed against the Lord to the present day by violating the Mosaic Covenant. The history of Israel had been "one unbroken apostasy." [Note: C. H. Toy, The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, p. 97.] "The word ’rebellious’ can be understood as the key to the attitude of Israel throughout the book." [Note: Feinberg, p. 23.] "Though the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 2:1-10

Ezekiel's Commission to be a ProphetEzekiel's commission came to him by three stages, and on three distinct occasions. The first and principal occasion was the immediate sequel of the vision described in Ezekiel 1:0. The account of it occupies the whole of Ezekiel 2:0, and Ezekiel 3:1-13. The second was seven days later, among the exiles at Tel-abib (Eze 3:14-21). The third was connected with a repetition of the vision, apparently in the neighbourhood of Tel-abib (Eze 3:22-27).The First... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 2:3

(3) I send thee to the children of Israel.—Here properly begins the distinct commission of the prophet. After the captivity of the ten tribes, the two forming the kingdom of Judah, with such remnants of the others as had been induced by Hezekiah and others to cast in their lot with them, are constantly spoken of as “Israel.” (See Ezra 2:2.) The continuity of the whole nation was considered as preserved in the remnant, and hence this same mode of expression passed into the New Testament. (See... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 2:1-10

Ezekiel 2:1 Lord, I find that Ezekiel in his prophecies is styled ninety times and more by his appellation, Son of Man, and surely not once oftener than there was need for.... Amongst other revelations it was needful to reveal him to himself, Son of Man, lest seeing many visions might have made him blind with spiritual pride. Lord as thou increasest Thy graces in me, and favours on me, so with them daily increase in my soul the monitors and remembrances of my mortality. Thomas Fuller.... read more
