Structure
NKJV groups this chapter into:
- Ezekiel 3:1–15 = Ezekiel sent to rebellious Israel
- Ezekiel 3:16–27 = Ezekiel is a watchman
Verse 3
- And He said to me,
- "Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you."
- So I ate,
- and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.[6]
- "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם ḇen-’ā-ḏām): this phrase is used almost a hundred times to address Ezekiel, differing the creator God from His creatures, and to put Ezekiel as a "representative member of the human race."[7]
- "Feed your belly": symbolizing "that Ezekiel internalized the message in preparation for speaking to the people."[7]
Verse 27
- But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth,
- and you shall say to them,
- "Thus says the Lord God."
- He who hears, let him hear;
- and he who refuses, let him refuse;
- for they are a rebellious house.[8]
- "He who hears, let him hear": This warning is often used by Jesus Christ in His sermons (e.g. Mark 4:23).[7]
