It emphasizes the authority and origin of the message, underscoring that the prophecy is not from human origin but from God Himself.

The phrase is similar to other prophetic introductions found in books like Jeremiah and Isaiah, establishing continuity in how God communicates with His chosen messengers.<p><b>came to me</b><br>The personal nature of this communication is emphasized here. Ezekiel, as a prophet, receives direct revelation from God. This underscores the intimate relationship between God and His prophets, who are chosen to deliver His messages to the people.

This personal reception is crucial for the authenticity and authority of the prophetic message.<p><b>saying</b><br>This introduces the content of the divine message that follows. It prepares the reader for the specific instructions or revelations that God is about to impart. In the context of <a href="/ezekiel/27.htm">Ezekiel 27</a>, the message pertains to a lamentation over Tyre, a significant city in the ancient Near East.
