Ezekiel 33:2
_ _ to the children of thy people — whom he had been forbidden to address from Ezekiel 24:26, Ezekiel 24:27, till Jerusalem was overthrown, and the “escaped” came with tidings of the judgment being completed. So now, in Ezekiel 33:21, the tidings of the fact having arrived, he opens his heretofore closed lips to the Jews. In the interval he had prophesied as to foreign nations. The former part of the chapter, at Ezekiel 33:2-20, seems to have been imparted to Ezekiel on the evening previous (Ezekiel 33:22), being a preparation for the latter part (Ezekiel 33:23-33) imparted after the tidings had come. This accounts for the first part standing without intimation of the date, which was properly reserved for the latter part, to which the former was the anticipatory introduction [Fairbairn].
_ _ watchman — Ezekiel 33:1-9 exhibit Ezekiel’s office as a spiritual watchman; so in Ezekiel 3:16-21; only here the duties of the earthly watchman (compare 2 Samuel 18:24, 2 Samuel 18:25; 2 Kings 9:17) are detailed first, and then the application is made to the spiritual watchman’s duty (compare Isaiah 21:6-10; Hosea 9:8; Habakkuk 2:1). “A man of their coasts” is a man specially chosen for the office out of their whole number. So Judges 18:2, “five men from their coasts”; also the Hebrew of Genesis 47:2; implying the care needed in the choice of the watchman, the spiritual as well as the temporal (Acts 1:21, Acts 1:22, Acts 1:24-26; 1 Timothy 5:22). |
Ezekiel 33:2
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their territory, and set him for their (a) watchman:
(a) He shows that the people ought to continually have governors and teachers who may have a care over them, and to warn them ever of the dangers which are at hand. |
