Ezek 2:9–3:3

2:9–3:3 In other accounts of the prophetic call, once the commission is given God often provides a sign to confirm it (Ex. 3:12; Jer. 1:11–14). Moses had said that God would put His word into the mouths of the prophets (Deut. 18:18), and here that is seen in a graphic way. What food is to the body, so the word of God would be for Ezekiel’s ministry.
