Ezekiel 2:1,2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And he Who sat upon the throne, the Son of God, whose messenger Ezekiel is here appointed to be to the Jewish captives now in Chaldea; said unto me, Son of man A title ninety-five times, at least, given to Ezekiel, in this prophecy, in order, as most commentators suppose, to put him in mind of his frailty and mortality, and to keep him humble, amidst so many divine visions and revelations vouchsafed him from God: see Psalms 8:4. Stand upon thy feet Arise, fear not, and put thyself into a posture of attending to what I shall say to thee. And with this command God sent forth a power, enabling him to arise and stand. And the spirit entered into me The same spirit which actuated the living creatures and the wheels; when he spake unto me While he was speaking the words, or, as soon as they were spoken.

Ezekiel 2:1-2

1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
