Commentary on Ezekiel 3:17

Theological / Devotional

A watchman. The figure is that of a military sentinel on the lookout tower whose work it is to warn men of approaching dangers (see 2 Sam. 18:24-27; 2 Kings 9:17-20). The word describes the special characteristic of Ezekiel’s work. The prophet was to watch personally for souls.
