Шаблон:AnchorThe responsibility of the prophet (3:1–15)

Verse 1

He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel".

"Son of man" is sometimes translated "O mortal", as in the New Revised Standard Version. Ezekiel is called 'son of man' here and throughout the remainder of the book, not as an honorific title, but as a mark of the distance between this 'mere mortal' and his divine interlocutor".Шаблон:Sfn Similarly, the prophet Jeremiah records that he "found" and "ate" the words of God.

Verse 3

And He said to me,

"Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you."

So I ate,

and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

• "Like honey in sweetness": Although the scroll contains "lamentations and mourning and woe" (Ezekiel 2:10), when eaten it tastes "as sweet as honey" in the mouth (Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn The phrase affirms the saying that 'God's word was sweet' (Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 15

Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar;

and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

• "Tel Abib" (Шаблон:Lang-he, Tel Aviv; lit. "Spring Mound", where "Spring (Aviv) is the season") is an unidentified place on the Kebar Canal, near Nippur in what is now Iraq. The Kebar or Chebar river was part of a complex network of irrigation and transport canals that also included the Shatt el-Nil, a silted up canal toward the east of Babylon.
• "Astonished" is read as "astonied" in the Revised Version, i.e. dumb and motionless. The seven-day long "period of motionless silence" seems to express "the strength of the prophet’s emotions" on his arrival at Tel Abib.

Verse 16

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

• "At the end of seven days": During these days, Ezekiel had enough opportunity to be among the exiles, and was able to see the sphere and materials of his work, before his appointment to be a watchman.

Verse 23

So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

• "River Chebar": see notes on "Tel Abib" in verse 15.
• "The plain": links this first vision of Ezekiel to the other vision in Ezekiel 37.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 27

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth,

and you shall say to them,

"Thus says the Lord God."

He who hears, let him hear;

and he who refuses, let him refuse;

for they are a rebellious house.

The theme of dumbness and periodic restoration of speech emphasize that the word spoken by Ezekiel is from God, not the prophet's.Шаблон:Sfn
