In Hebrew, the word for "Spirit" is "Ruach," which can mean breath, wind, or spirit. This indicates a powerful, life-giving force from God. The Spirit's entry into Ezekiel symbolizes God's direct intervention and presence, equipping him for the prophetic mission. This mirrors the New Testament experience of the Holy Spirit indwelling believers, as seen in <a href="/acts/2.htm">Acts 2</a>, where the Spirit empowers the apostles. The Spirit's entry is transformative, enabling Ezekiel to fulfill God's calling.<p><b>and set me on my feet</b><br />The action of being "set on my feet" implies restoration and readiness. In the context of ancient Near Eastern culture, standing was a position of readiness and respect, often associated with receiving a commission or command. This phrase suggests that Ezekiel, previously overwhelmed or incapacitated by the vision, is now prepared and strengthened to act. It reflects God's ability to restore and prepare His servants for the tasks ahead, emphasizing His sovereignty and the enabling power of His Spirit.<p><b>He spoke with me</b><br />The phrase "He spoke with me" highlights the personal and direct communication between God and His prophet. In the Hebrew context, the act of speaking is not merely conveying information but establishing a relationship. This divine dialogue underscores the intimacy and authority of God's communication. It is reminiscent of God's conversations with other prophets, such as Moses and Isaiah, where God provides guidance, instruction, and encouragement. This personal interaction assures Ezekiel of God's presence and support.<p><b>and said, 'Go, shut yourself inside your house.'</b><br />The command "Go, shut yourself inside your house" is both literal and symbolic. Historically, prophets often engaged in symbolic actions to convey God's message. This instruction may signify a period of isolation and reflection, preparing Ezekiel for the challenging messages he must deliver. It also suggests protection and separation from the rebellious house of Israel, highlighting the seriousness of his prophetic role. This command can be seen as a call to spiritual preparation, emphasizing the need for solitude and focus in discerning God's will. It serves as a reminder of the importance of withdrawing from distractions to hear God's voice clearly.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/3.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(24) <span class= "bld">Go, shut thyself within thine house.</span>--The prophet's consecration being now complete, he is to enter upon his actual work; yet, in view of the disposition of the people, he is to begin his prophecies in a private way, shut up in his house. Or it may be that this should be understood of a period of absolute silence and meditation preparatory to entering upon his work. Moreover, fresh warning is given of the reception he must be prepared to meet.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Go, shut thyself within thy heroin,</span> etc. The command implied that he was to cease for a time from all public ministrations. There was a time to keep silence, as well as a time to speak (<a href="/ecclesiastes/3-7.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:7</a>), and for the immediate future silence was the more effective of the two. It would, at least, make them eager to hear what the silence meant. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/3-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then the Spirit</span><br /><span class="heb">ר֔וּחַ</span> <span class="translit">(rū·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
