以西结书 3:5 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-15

These verses are fitly joined by some translators to the foregoing chapter, as being of a piece with it and a continuation of the same vision. The prophets received the word from God that they might deliver it to the people of God, furnished themselves that they might furnish them with the knowledge of the mind and will of God. Now here the prophet is taught, I. How he must receive divine revelation himself, Ezek. 3:1. Christ (whom he saw upon the throne, Ezek. 1:26) said to him, ?Son of man,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:5

Thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech - I neither send thee to thy adversaries, the Chaldeans, nor to the Medes and Persians, their enemies. Even these would more likely have hearkened unto thee than thy own countrymen. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 3:4-7

The privileged and the unprivileged. It is impossible to read this language without being reminded of the parallel language recorded to have been uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ. The Prophet Ezekiel was assured that, whilst his message would be rejected by his fellow countrymen, it would have been received with gratitude and faith had it been addressed to a Gentile nation. And our Lord, in upbraiding the unbelief of Capernaum, declared that the tidings he proclaimed would have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 3:4-7

The awful consequences of neglecting the Word of the Lord. "And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel," etc. Here is a comparison between two possible spheres of prophetic service—between the Israelites and the heathen ( Ezekiel 3:5 ); between the one house of Israel and many heathen peoples ( Ezekiel 3:6 ). 1 . Both these spheres of service would have presented difficulties in the way of the fulfilment of the prophet ' s mission. In the case of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 3:4-14

Ambassadorship. God makes unusual manifestations of his glory to men, to qualify them for extraordinary service. The opened heavens and the voice of Divine approbation, on the occasion of Jesus' baptism, were a preparation for the desert conflict. The transfiguration of our Lord on the mount was designed to qualify the disciples for arduous spiritual toil. Ezekiel found it right pleasant to receive higher revelations of God's Person and God's will, but irksome to the flesh to convey that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 3:5

Of a strange speech and of a hard language , etc.; literally, as in margin, both of Authorized Version and Revised Version, to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue ; i.e. to a barbarous people outside the covenant, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Scythians: not speaking the familiar sacred speech of Israel (compare the "stammering lips and another tongue" of Isaiah 28:11 ; Isaiah 33:19 ). The thought implied is that Ezekiel's mission, as to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 3:5

Colonial missions. Ezekiel was not sent, like Jonah, to a foreign city; though living among people of a strange language, he was not called upon to preach to the natives. His mission was to a colony of fellow Jews in a foreign country. He is the typical colonial missionary of the Old Testament. I. THE CLAIMS OF COLONIAL MISSIONS . Broadly stated, there are two great claims in colonial missions. 1 . Close kinship. The colonists are our brethren. Charity begins at home,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 3:5-8

Ezekiel 3:5-8. Thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech It would be a great addition to the burden of thy office if thou wert sent, as Jonah was, as a prophet to a foreign nation, and to a people whose language thou couldest not understand, nor they thine. Not to many people of a strange speech, &c. God seems, as it were, to hint here that the time would come when he should order his messengers to go to many people of a strange speech, and should find those who would obey him... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-15

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
