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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 2:4

The people to whom God was sending Ezekiel were stubborn and obstinate (lit. hard-faced and hard-hearted), as children often are. The prophet was to announce to them what their master Yahweh said. Ezekiel used the title "Lord God" (Heb. ’adonay Yahweh, Sovereign Yahweh) 217 times. It emphasizes both God’s sovereign authority and His covenant-keeping faithfulness.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 2:5

As a result of Ezekiel’s ministry these people would know that a prophet had been among them, that God had sent a messenger to them, whether they chose to listen or not. They might not listen because they were a rebellious "house" (nation), but Ezekiel was not to change his message to accommodate his hearers. 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 2:4

(4) Impudent children.—Literally, as in margin, hard of face. The epithet is repeated in Ezekiel 3:7, and it is with reference to this that in Ezekiel 3:7-8 the prophet’s face is to be made strong, and his forehead “harder than flint.” “The Lord God” is in the original “the Lord Jehovah,” the second name taking the pointing of, and being translated “God,” because of the word “Lord” preceding. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 2:5

(5) Whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.—Comp. Ezekiel 3:11. God’s word remains the same whatever reception man may accord to it; it cannot return unto Him void, but must accomplish that which He pleases (Isaiah 55:11); just as the Apostles remained “unto God a sweet savour of Christ” alike “in them that are saved and in them that perish” (2 Corinthians 2:15-16). But while the mighty power of the Divine word must thus produce its effect, the character of the effect depends upon... 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
