Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 2:1-5

The title here given to Ezekiel, as often afterwards, is very observable. God, when he speaks to him, calls him, Son of man (Ezek. 2:1, 3), Son of Adam, Son of the earth. Daniel is once called so (Dan. 8:17) and but once; the compellation is used to no other of the prophets but to Ezekiel all along. We may take it, 1. As a humble diminishing title. Lest Ezekiel should be lifted up with the abundance of the revelations, he is put in mind of this, that sill he is a son of man, a mean, weak,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 2:4

For they are impudent children ,.... "Hard of face" F23 קשי פנים "duri facie", Pagninus, Vatablus, Calvin, Cocceius, Starckius. ; as is commonly said of impudent persons, that they are brasen faced; they had a whore's forehead, and refused to be ashamed, and made their faces harder than a rock, Jeremiah 3:3 ; they declared their sin as Sodam, and hid it not; they sinned openly, and could not blush at it: and stiffhearted ; or, "strong of heart" F24 חזקי לב "duri... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 2:5

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear ,.... Or "cease" F25 יחדלו "cessaverint", Pagninas, Montanus, Starckius; "desistent", Calvin, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; that is, from hearing, as Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it; or from sinning, as the Targum. The sense is, whether they would hear the word of the Lord, as spoken by the prophet, attend unto it, receive it, and obey it; or whether they would reject it, turn their backs on it, and discontinue... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 2:4

Thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord - Let them know that what thou hast to declare is the message of the Lord, that they may receive it with reverence. Every preacher of God's word should take heed that it is God's message he delivers to the people. Let him not suppose, because it is according to his own creed or confession of faith, that therefore it is God's word. False doctrines and fallacies without end are foisted on the world in this way. Bring the creed first to the Word... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 2:5

Yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them - By this they shall be assured of two things: That God in his mercy had given them due warning. 2. That themselves were inexcusable, for not taking it. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 2:4

Verse 4 God proceeds in the same discourse, but expresses in other words the great rebellion of the people, for they were not only obstinate and unbending in heart, but also of a contumacious countenance: therefore he places hardness in face as well as in heart. The words indeed are different, קשי , keshi, and חזקי, chezki, “of brazen countenance,” for we may translate “winked” and “contumacious,” for this disposition appears in the countenance, nor is it objectionable to render it “impudent.”... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 2:5

Verse 5 Here, again, God exhorts his servant to persevere whatever be the event of his labor, for if we do not succeed according to the desire of our minds, we are inclined to despair: but God wishes us to proceed in the course of our duty, though all things should turn out contrary to our wishes. But he shows that there shall be some fruit of our labor, although the people, through their own depravity, reject what has been said to them: for this thought breaks the spirits of God’s servants,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 2:2-5

An arduous embassage. Every prophet is a missionary; every true missionary is a prophet. In an inferior sense of the word, he is a mediator—a mediator between God and man. I. THE MISSIONARY CHARACTER OF THE PROPHET . He is one "sent." He goes not to this difficult and responsible work by the impulse of his own reason or will. He is in the employ and under the direction of another—of One whom he cannot disregard. He cannot go or stay, as he pleases, he is a servant. The Son... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 2:3-4

An embassy to rebels. The people of Israel are regarded as a vassal nation that has added rebellion to disloyalty, and has gone so far as to throw off its allegiance to its suzerain lord, and now the Supreme Sovereign sends his prophet as an ambassador to declare his will at this terrible crisis. I. TRANSGRESSORS RIPEN INTO REBELS . They and their fathers had transgressed in the past. But the children have exceeded the wickedness of their parents by breaking out into open... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 2:3-8

The commission to prophetic service. "And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel," etc. We have here— I. A DISCOURAGING SPHERE OF PROPHETIC SERVICE . ( Ezekiel 2:3 , Ezekiel 2:4 .) Ezekiel was sent to: 1 . A people who had mournfully fallen. "I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me." By descent they were sons of Israel, who had engaged in mighty wrestling with God, and by faith had... read more
