Verse 7
So thou, O son of man ,.... Here begins the application of the parable to the prophet himself, describing his office and his duty:
I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel ; which is repeated from Ezekiel 3:17 ; see Gill on Ezekiel 3:17 . The Targum is,
"I have appointed thee a teacher;'
a spiritual watchman; so pastors, teachers, ministers of the Gospel, are watchmen, 2 Timothy 4:5 ,
therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me . The Targum is,
"thou shalt receive the word from my Word, and warn them from sinning before me.'
