Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 33:22

"Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb." — Ezekiel 33:22 (ASV)

Was upon me. —The sentence becomes clearer by translating this in the pluperfect: The hand of the Lord had been (already) upon me.
