The word of the LORD came to me, saying
The word of the LORD
This phrase signifies divine communication, emphasizing the authority and sacredness of the message. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just spoken words but also actions and events. The "LORD" is rendered from "YHWH," the covenant name of God, highlighting His eternal and unchanging nature. This phrase assures us that the message is not of human origin but from the sovereign Creator, who is actively involved in the affairs of His people.

came to me
The phrase indicates a direct and personal revelation to the prophet Ezekiel. The Hebrew verb "hayah" (came) suggests an occurrence or event, emphasizing that this is a specific moment of divine encounter. Ezekiel, as a prophet, serves as a conduit for God's message, underscoring the personal relationship between God and His chosen messengers. This personal aspect reminds believers of the intimate nature of God's communication with His people.

saying
This word introduces the content of the divine message. In Hebrew, "amar" (saying) is often used to denote not just speech but a declaration or command. It prepares the listener for the authoritative and purposeful message that follows. This highlights the importance of listening and responding to God's word, as it carries divine intent and direction for His people.

Verse 17. - The opening words, The worn of the Lord came to me, imply an interval of passivity and silence. One conscious burst of inspiration came to an end, and was followed, after a time, by another.
