Ezekiel 1:3

"the LORD’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the LORD’s hand was there on him."

Key Reflection

This verse signifies that Ezekiel received a divine call to prophesy while身处异乡的流亡之地。"耶和华的话临到以西结，他是祭司，基述的儿子，在迦勒底人之地、在示拿河旁；耶和华的灵就进入他身上。”这句话表明以西结在一个远离故土的流亡之地接到了神的呼召，开始他的先知使命。这里的“手”象征神的同在与赋予他使命的能力。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Came expressly -The phrase marks that it was in truth a heaven-sent vision. The hand of the Lord -A phrase in all prophecy implying a “constraining” power, because the spirit “constrains” the prophet independently of his own will.
