Ezekiel 2

Ezekiel 2:2

Consider - And though at present they will not consider, yet afterward, when they see things come to pass, then they shall consider what I have told them.

Ezekiel 2:3

To rest - In Canaan.

Ezekiel 2:6

Samaria - Samaria was the metropolis of the ten tribes. Mountains are convenient for vineyards, being free from shades and exposed to the sun. Shall plant - God promises them a liberty to plant, and that they should enjoy their plantations, eating them as common things, which they could not do ’till the fifth year.

Ezekiel 2:7

Arise - This was fulfilled under the gospel; for both Galilee and Samaria received the gospel.

Ezekiel 2:10

With weeping - Some think that it had been better translated, they went weeping; for though the verb be the future tense in the Hebrew, yet that tense has often the signification of the preterperfect tense, thus it answereth, Psalms 126:5,6. He that goeth forth weeping, bearing precious seed, shalt doubtless come again rejoicing. There is a weeping for joy, as well as for sorrow, and thus the text corresponds with that, Zechariah 12:10. I will pour upon them the spirit of grace and supplications, and they shall look upon him whom they have pierced, and mourn. By rivers - And they shall have no want as they had when they came out of Egypt, through the wilderness, where they often wanted water.
