Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 3:13, after the Spirit of God lifts the prophet up to receive divine revelation, he hears a voice that symbolizes the majestic presence and glory of Yahweh. This auditory experience would have resonated deeply with the original audience, as it evoked the powerful imagery of the Shekinah glory in the Hebrew prophets’ context, emphasizing the awesome majesty and authority of God’s word.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes
