TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-10 Being a prophet was neither a career choice nor an occupation passed down from father to son like the priesthood. God called prophets to their task, and the story of their call is often included in their writings (see, e.g., Isa 6; Jer 1:4-19; Jon 1:1-2).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,descendants ones_obstinate_of faces and,ones_stubborn_of heart I sending DOM,you to,them and,say to,them thus he/it_had_said my=master GOD )

the descendants of the past generations of Israel who had rebelled against God, referring to the people living in Israel at the time Ezekiel writes

(Occurrence 0) have stubborn faces

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,descendants ones_obstinate_of faces and,ones_stubborn_of heart I sending DOM,you to,them and,say to,them thus he/it_had_said my=master GOD )

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,descendants ones_obstinate_of faces and,ones_stubborn_of heart I sending DOM,you to,them and,say to,them thus he/it_had_said my=master GOD )

The words “stubborn faces” refer to the way they act on the outside, and the words “hard hearts” refer to the way they think and feel. Together they emphasize that the people of Israel would not change how they lived in order to obey God.

(Occurrence 0) stubborn

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,descendants ones_obstinate_of faces and,ones_stubborn_of heart I sending DOM,you to,them and,say to,them thus he/it_had_said my=master GOD )

Rocks never change and become soft, and these people never change and become sorry when they do evil things.
