From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Was sent -Rather, was put forth. A roll of a book -The book was one of the ancient kind written on skins rolled up together. Hence, our English volumePsalms 40:7. The writing was usually on one side, but in this case it was written within and without, on both sides, the writing as it were running over, to express the abundance of the calamities in store for the devoted people. To eat the book signifies to be thoroughly possessed with its contents (compareEzekiel 3:10;Jeremiah 15:16). There should be no break betweenEzekiel 2:10andEzekiel 3:0.
