To this very day the Israelites and their fathers have transgressed against Me. 4They are obstinate and hardhearted children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, 'This is what the Lord GOD says.' 5And whether they listen or refuse to listen-for they are a rebellious house-they will know that a prophet has been among them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto me,.... The glorious Person who sat upon the throne, whose appearance is described in the latter part of the preceding chapter:

son of man; as he was to be that spake unto him; and so it may denote relation, affection, and familiarity; or otherwise it is expressive of humiliation; of the frail, mean, and low estate of man, through the fall, Psalms 8:4; wherefore some think Ezekiel is thus addressed, lest he should be lifted up, and think himself as one of the angels, because he had seen so great a vision; just as the Apostle Paul was humbled, lest he should be exalted above measure, through the visions and revelations he had, 2 Corinthians 12:7. Kimchi mentions this, but assigns another reason; that because he saw the face of a man in the above vision, he let him know that he was right and good in the eye of God; and was the son of man, and not the son of a lion, c. which is exceeding weak and trifling. Abendana, besides these, mentions some other reasons given as that because he saw the "mercavah" or chariot, and ascended to the dignity of the angels on high, it is as if it was said, there is none born of a woman, as this; or because he was carried out of the holy land, as Adam was drove out of Eden; and therefore called the son of the first Adam, being drove out of Jerusalem, and out of the temple, where he was a priest. It may be observed, that this is a name which our Lord frequently took to himself in his state of humiliation; and that none but Ezekiel, excepting once the Prophet Daniel, is called by this name; and no doubt the reason of it is, because he was an eminent type of Christ; and particularly in his mission and commission, as a prophet, to the rebellious house of Israel:

stand upon thy feet; for he was fallen upon his face, at the sight of the vision, Ezekiel 1:28; when a divine Person speaks, men ought to stand and hear, and be in a readiness to do his pleasure:

and I will speak unto thee; which is said for his encouragement, being spoken by him who has the words of truth and grace, and of eternal life.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Son of man - This phrase (which occurs elsewhere in Scripture) is applied especially to Ezekiel and Daniel, the prophets of the captivity. Ezekiel is thus reminded of his humanity, at the time when he is especially permitted to have contact with God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER II

The prophet, having been overwhelmed with the glorious vision in

the preceding chapter, is here strengthened and comforted, 1, 2;

and then commissioned to declare to the rebellious house of

Israel the terrible judgments that would very shortly come upon

the whole land, if they repented not; with a gracious assurance

to Ezekiel that God would be constantly with him while executing

the duties of his office, 3-5.

The prophet is also commanded to be fearless, resolute, and

faithful in the discharge of it. 6-8,

as he must be the messenger of very unpleasing tidings, which

well expose him to great persecution, 9, 10.

NOTES ON CHAP. II

Verse Ezekiel 2:1. And he said unto me — In the last verse of the preceding chapter we find that the prophet was so penetrated with awe at the sight of the glory of God in the mystical chariot, that "he fell upon his face;" and, while he was in this posture of adoration, he heard the voice mentioned here. It is evident, therefore, that the present division of these chapters is wrong. Either the first should end with the words, "This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord," Ezekiel 1:28; or the first verse of this chapter should be added to the preceding, and this begin with the second verse.
