Ezekiel 40:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The man: see Ezekiel 40:3. Said unto me; Ezekiel, called here, as in many other places, the son of man. Behold with thine eyes; diligently view; all accurateness is required here in looking into these things presented to the eye. Hear with thine ears; like care and attention use also in hearing what shall be spoken: these kind of phrases do bind us to greatest heedfulness. Set thine heart upon; ponder and weigh with thyself, meditate and study on them. Though here is a supernatural revelation, yet he is required to act the utmost part of a man to know the things revealed. All; nothing is insignificant here, therefore all must be regarded. To the intent; this was the reason why thou wast brought hither, and why I am come to meet thee. Declare; plainly tell them, that they may discern, and tell all, conceal nothing.

Ezekiel 40:4

4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
