There is somewhat very striking in the Prophet's method of describing this vision: the hand of the Lord (he saith) was upon him. And certain it is, that whosoever reads this Chapter, and all the remainder of Ezekiel's vision, with an understanding suitable to its importance, must also, like the Prophet, have the hand of the Lord upon him. For no one, either ancient or modern, seemed to have entered into a clear apprehension of its meaning. Reader! we shall do well, as we enter upon the subject, to look up for divine instructions concerning it: for none but He, who gave it to the Prophet by vision, can explain it to the soul's joy. Lord! be thou our instructor!
