The word
The phrase "The word" in this context refers to a divine message or revelation. In Hebrew, the term is "דָּבָר" (dabar), which signifies not just a spoken word but a powerful, active, and living message from God. This highlights the authority and the dynamic nature of God's communication with His prophets. The "word" is not merely informational but transformational, intended to bring about change and repentance.

of the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "יהוה" (YHWH), the sacred and personal name of God, often rendered as Yahweh. This name emphasizes God's eternal existence, His covenantal faithfulness, and His supreme authority. The use of "LORD" here underscores that the message Ezekiel is about to deliver is not of human origin but is divinely authoritative and demands attention and obedience.

came to me
The phrase "came to me" indicates the personal and direct nature of God's communication with Ezekiel. The Hebrew verb "הָיָה" (hayah) suggests an encounter or a happening, emphasizing that this was a specific and intentional act of God reaching out to His prophet. This personal interaction highlights the intimate relationship between God and His chosen messengers, who are entrusted with His divine revelations.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message. In Hebrew, it is "לֵאמֹר" (le'mor), which serves as a marker for direct speech. This indicates that what follows is not Ezekiel's interpretation but the exact words of God. It underscores the importance of the message and the responsibility of the prophet to convey it accurately and faithfully to the people. This word sets the stage for the solemn and urgent message that follows, calling for the audience's full attention and response.

Verse 1. - The absence of any fresh date, and the fact that it is simply tacked on to the previous chapter by the copulative conjunction, shows that what follows belongs to the same group. The use of the phrase, the word of the Lord came unto me, shows, however, that there was an interval of silence, perhaps of meditation, followed by a fresh influx of inspiration; and, so far as we may judge from the more lyrical character of the chapter, a more intense emotion.
