Ezequiel 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 3:24

Then the spirit entered into me
Again; the Spirit of God, that was in the wheels and living creatures: see ( Ezekiel 2:2 ) ; and set me upon my feet;
as he had done before, when in the same prostrate condition, ( Ezekiel 2:2 ) ; and spake with me;
either the Spirit that entered into him, and set him upright; or rather the Lord Christ, the glory of the Lord that stood where he was, and appeared to him: and said unto me, go, shut thyself within thine house:
this was not said ironically, but in earnest; and the reason either was, because the people were not fit for reproof and correction, as Jarchi thinks, being a rebellious people; or that the prophet might receive further instructions, and have all the words of his prophecy delivered to him, before he began to prophesy. Some think this shutting up was an emblem of the siege of Jerusalem. It may seem strange that the prophet should be bid to go into the plain, where the Lord promised to talk with him; and this is all that is said to him, to go home, and shut himself up in his house: but it should be observed, that this was not the only thing for which he went into the plain: he was to have, and had, a fresh view of the glory of the Lord, and of the vision he had before, for the further confirmation of him; besides, this moving him from place to place, before he prophesied, might be partly to try his faith, and partly to preserve him from the violence of the people; who, had he delivered his message at once, might have been so provoked, as to have fallen upon him, and destroyed him; as well as to prepare them to receive his prophecies with more respect and reverence, when they saw he did not rashly, and at once, deliver them out to them.

Ezequiel 3:24 In-Context

22 Vino allí la mano del SEÑOR sobre mí, y me dijo: Levántate, y sal al campo, y allí hablaré contigo

23 Y me levanté, y salí al campo; y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria del SEÑOR, como la gloria que había visto junto al río de Quebar; y caí sobre mi rostro

24 Entonces entró espíritu en mí, y me afirmó sobre mis pies, y me habló, y me dijo: Entra, y enciérrate dentro de tu casa

25 Y tú, oh hijo de hombre, he aquí que pondrán sobre ti cuerdas, y con ellas te ligarán, y no saldrás entre ellos

26 Y haré que se pegue tu lengua a tu paladar, y estarás mudo, y para que no los reprendas, porque son casa rebelde
