Ezekiel 3:2

2 J'ouvris la bouche, et il me fit manger ce rouleau.

Ezekiel 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 3:2

So I opened my mouth
To take in the roll, and eat it; he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; he did all that he could towards eating it, but was not sufficient of himself; and therefore it follows: and he caused me to eat that roll;
he, the Lord, put it into his mouth, caused him to eat it, and tilled him with it, according to his promise, ( Psalms 81:10 ) . The efficacy and sufficiency to think of good things, to meditate upon them, receive and digest them, are of God; it is he that makes men prophets, and able ministers. The Targum is,

``and I inclined my soul, and he taught me (or made me wise "with") what was written in this roll.''

1 Il me dit: Fils de l'homme, mange ce que tu trouves, mange ce rouleau, et va, parle à la maison d'Israël!
2 J'ouvris la bouche, et il me fit manger ce rouleau.
3 Il me dit: Fils de l'homme, nourris ton ventre et remplis tes entrailles de ce rouleau que je te donne! Je le mangeai, et il fut dans ma bouche doux comme du miel.
4 Il me dit: Fils de l'homme, va vers la maison d'Israël, et dis-leur mes paroles!
5 Car ce n'est point vers un peuple ayant un langage obscur, une langue inintelligible, que tu es envoyé; c'est à la maison d'Israël.
