The measures 18. and ordinances of the altar The vision The phrase "the vision" refers to a divine revelation given to the prophet Ezekiel. In Hebrew, the word for vision is "חָזוֹן" (chazon), which implies a supernatural sight or insight granted by God. This vision is not merely a dream or a figment of imagination but a profound encounter with the divine reality. In the context of Ezekiel, visions often serve as a means for God to communicate His plans and purposes to His people. This particular vision is significant as it relates to the glory of God returning to the temple, symbolizing God's presence and favor with His people. I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city And the visions I had seen by the River Kebar and I fell facedown Like the vision that I saw.--Comp. Ezekiel 1:4, &c.; Ezekiel 3:23; Ezekiel 10:15; Ezekiel 10:22. The manifestation of Divine glory to the prophet was the same throughout. . . . Verse 3. - The prophet identifies the vision on which he now looks as the same he had formerly beheld on the hanks of the Chebar, when he came to destroy the city, i.e. when, in obedience to Divine command, he stood forth to announce the destruction of Jerusalem. Ewald and Smend follow the Vulgate. quando venit ut disperderet, in substituting "he," Jehovah, for "I," Ezekiel; but the change is unnecessary, as the prophet's language is perfectly intelligible and quite correct, since "the prophet destroyed the city ideally by his prophecy" (Hitzig), and it is not unusual for Scripture to represent a prophet as himself doing what he is only sent to predict (comp. Ezekiel 4:2; Ezekiel 32:18; Jeremiah 1:10). The prophet's reason for introducing this clause was manifestly the same he had for identifying the visions - to show that, while it was the same Jehovah who had departed from the old temple that was now returning to the new, there was nothing incongruous in the idea that he who in the past had shown himself a God of justice and judgment by overturning and destroying the old, should in the future exhibit himself as a God of grace and mercy by condescending to establish his abode in the new. The impression produced upon the prophet's soul by his vision was the same that had been produced by the former - he fell upon his face in awe and wonder.Parallel Commentaries ...
