Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 2:1

"And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee." — Ezekiel 2:1 (ASV)

Son of man - This phrase (which occurs elsewhere in Scripture) is applied especially to Ezekiel and Daniel, the prophets of the captivity. Ezekiel is thus reminded of his humanity, at the time when he is especially permitted to have contact with God.
