Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 3:24

"Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thy house." — Ezekiel 3:24 (ASV)

Go, shut yourself within your house. — The prophet’s consecration now being complete, he is to enter upon his actual work; yet, in view of the disposition of the people, he is to begin his prophecies in a private way, shut up in his house. Or it may be that this should be understood as a period of absolute silence and meditation, preparatory to entering upon his work. Moreover, a fresh warning is given about the reception he must be prepared to meet.
