Ezequiel 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 2:9

And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me
Not of an angel, but of Christ himself, in a visionary way; for this was not a real hand, but the likeness of one, as in ( Ezekiel 8:3 ) ; and so the Targum here,

``and I saw, and behold, the likeness of a hand stretched out on the side to me.''

This symbol was to show that his prophecy, that he was sent to deliver, was from heaven and came from Christ; and that hand that delivered it to him would protect and defend him: and, lo a roll of a book [was] therein;
held in it, and held forth by it, to the prophet. Books were frequently written on parchment or vellum, and rolled about a stick, in form of a cylinder; and hence they were called volumes or rolls, ( Psalms 40:7 ) . This roll was a symbol of the prophecy of this book.

Ezequiel 2:9 In-Context

7 Tal vez te escuchen, tal vez no, pues son un pueblo rebelde; pero tú les proclamarás mis palabras.

8 Tú, hijo de hombre, atiende bien a lo que te voy a decir, y no seas rebelde como ellos. Abre tu boca y come lo que te voy a dar».

9 Entonces miré, y vi que una mano con un rollo escrito se extendía hacia mí.

10 La mano abrió ante mis ojos el rollo, el cual estaba escrito por ambos lados, y contenía lamentos, gemidos y amenazas.
