The opening
Lecture First
Ezekiel himself explains at the very beginning of his Book, at what period he discharged the prophetic office; and on this depends the knowledge of his argument. For unless we understand how God stirred him up, we can with difficulty enter into his spirit, and shall be unable to receive any just fruit from his instruction. It is necessary, therefore, to begin from this point: namely, the time of his Prophecy: for he says:
Ezekiel 1:1-2
1. Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
1. Et fuit tricesimo anno, quarto meuse quinta mensis, et ego in medio Captivitatis, super fluvium Chebar aperti sunt coeli, et vidi visiones Dei.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
