Ezequiel 1:3

Listen to Ezequiel 1:3
3 la palabra del SEÑOR fue dirigida al sacerdote Ezequiel, hijo de Buzi, en la tierra de los caldeos junto al río Quebar; y allí vino sobre él la mano del SEÑOR.)

Ezequiel 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:3

The word of the Lord came expressly
Or, "in being was" {d}; which phrase denotes the reality, certainty, substantiality and evidence of the word of the Lord to him:

unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi;
which Buzi, some say, was Jeremiah. Kimchi observes, that, in the Jerusalem Targum, the Prophet Ezekiel is called the son of Jeremiah the prophet: and Jeremiah was called Buzi because they despised him; this is rejected by Abarbinel; nor is there any reason to believe it, any more than what Nazianzen F5 says, that Ezekiel was a servant of Jeremiah:

in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 1:1). The Chaldee paraphrase makes the word of the Lord to come to him at two distinct times and places;

``the word of prophecy from before the Lord was with Ezekiel the son of Buzi the priest in the land of Israel: it returned a second time, and spoke with him in the province, the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar:''

and the hand of the Lord was there upon him;
by which is meant the gift and word of prophecy, which came with power and efficacy, clearness and evidence; so the Targum, and the

``spirit of prophecy from before the Lord there abode by him;''

by which he saw all later visions, and delivered out the following prophecies; see ( 2 Peter 1:21 ) .

Ezequiel 1:3 In-Context

1 Sucedió que en el año treinta, al quinto día del cuarto mes, estando yo entre los desterrados junto al río Quebar, los cielos se abrieron y vi visiones de Dios.
2 (En aquel día cinco del mes, en el quinto año del destierro del rey Joaquín,
3 la palabra del SEÑOR fue dirigida al sacerdote Ezequiel, hijo de Buzi, en la tierra de los caldeos junto al río Quebar; y allí vino sobre él la mano del SEÑOR.)
4 Miré, y he aquí que un viento huracanado venía del norte, una gran nube con fuego fulgurante y un resplandor a su alrededor, y en su centro, algo como metal refulgente en medio del fuego.
5 En su centro había figuras semejantes a cuatro seres vivientes. Y este era su aspecto: tenían forma humana.
