In the visions: by this it appears it was not a corporeal transumption of the prophet: see Ezekiel 8:3. Brought me: see Ezekiel 40:1. Into the land of Israel; the land of Canaan was in a scheme represented to him. Set me upon a very high mountain; placed him in the most convenient situation for prospect. It were vain to inquire what mountain this was, since this is a vision; probably it was Mount Moriah here signified. Was the frame, the portrait and model, of a city; a goodly, fair city, or, by way of eminence, the city, or of that city which fourteen years ago was burnt. On the south; on the south of the mountain where the prophet was set, and this was the situation of Jerusalem, on whose north was Mount Zion, Psalms 48:2.
