This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Son of man: see Eze_3:1, and Eze_2:1. Go; either the first word, go, intimates the awakening and rousing him, and the latter,
get thee, directs him whither to go when on his legs, or else it is an idiom of the Hebrew language, or a hendyadis, an ingemination of the same command.
The house of Israel: see Eze_2:3.
Speak with my words; see Eze_3:1; in my name and authority, so some, but then it would have been in the singular number, not plural. Better and fuller it is by others thus, What things I shall show thee, and in what words I shall declare them to thee, these declare to the captives in Babylon. They perhaps do expect to hear somewhat else, and their flattering false prophets suggest other matters; but look to it, thou goest on my errand, speak therefore in my words, as the Hebrew.
