Then
The use of "Then" indicates a continuation or sequence in the narrative. In the context of Ezekiel, this word signifies a new revelation or message from God that follows previous prophecies. It underscores the ongoing communication between God and His prophet, Ezekiel, highlighting the dynamic and continuous nature of divine revelation. Historically, this period was marked by significant turmoil and upheaval for the Israelites, making the timing of God's messages crucial for guidance and hope.

the word
"The word" refers to the divine message or revelation from God. In Hebrew, the term "dabar" is often used, which encompasses not just spoken words but also the power and authority behind them. This phrase emphasizes the importance and weight of what is being communicated. In the biblical context, God's word is living and active, serving as a guiding force for His people. It is through His word that God reveals His will, character, and plans for humanity.

of the LORD
This phrase identifies the source of the message as Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. The use of "LORD" in all capital letters in English translations signifies the Hebrew name "YHWH," which is considered sacred and denotes God's eternal and unchanging nature. This highlights the authority and divine origin of the message Ezekiel is about to receive. It reassures the audience that the prophecy is not of human origin but is a direct communication from the Creator.

came to me
The phrase "came to me" indicates the personal nature of the revelation. God chooses specific individuals, like Ezekiel, to be His messengers. This personal encounter underscores the intimate relationship between God and His prophets. It also reflects the responsibility placed upon Ezekiel to faithfully convey God's message to the people. Historically, prophets were often seen as intermediaries between God and His people, tasked with delivering messages of warning, hope, and instruction.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message. It prepares the reader for the specific words that God is about to communicate through Ezekiel. This term serves as a transition from the introduction of the revelation to the actual message itself. In the broader scriptural context, what follows is not merely human opinion but the authoritative declaration of God, which demands attention and response from the audience.
