This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eze 3:1-27. Ezekiel eats the roll. Is commissioned to go to them of the captivity and goes to Tel-Abib by the Chebar: Again beholds the Shekinah glory: Is told to retire to his house, and only speak when God opens his mouth.
eat ... and ... speak - God’s messenger must first inwardly appropriate God’s truth himself, before he “speaks” it to others (see on Eze 2:8). Symbolic actions were, when possible and proper, performed outwardly; otherwise, internally and in spiritual vision, the action so narrated making the naked statement more intuitive and impressive by presenting the subject in a concentrated, embodied form.
