Ezekiel 3:2

2 Et 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.''

Ezekiel 3:2 In-Context

1 Puis il me dit: Fils de l'homme, mange ce que tu trouves, mange ce rouleau, et va, parle à la maison d'Israël.

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

3 Et il me dit: Fils de l'homme, repais ton ventre et remplis tes entrailles de ce rouleau que je te donne. Je le mangeai donc, et il fut doux à ma bouche comme du miel.

4 Puis il me dit: Fils de l'homme, rends-toi vers la maison d'Israël, et tu leur rapporteras mes paroles.

5 Car ce n'est point vers un peuple au parler inintelligible et à la langue barbare que je t'envoie, mais vers la maison d'Israël.
