SCRIPTURE

"Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face." — Ezekiel 3:23 (ASV)

Then I arose and went forth into the plain He was obedient to the heavenly vision, which was owing to the hand of the Lord being upon him; the power of the Spirit and grace of God influences and engages to obedience; he went forth where he was ordered, though he knew not what would be said to him, or what he should see there.

and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there ; the glorious Person described in (Ezekiel 1:26–28).

as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar ; (Ezekiel 1:1–3:27) (28:1-26) ; which vision was repeated for greater certainty, and to confirm the prophecies delivered to him, and to encourage him in the performance of his office.

and I fell on my face ; as he did before, when he first saw this glorious object, (Ezekiel 1:28).
