UTN uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

Yahweh tells Ezekiel to speak a prophecy. Ezekiel is to speak to the mountains of Israel, but the message is for all of the people of Israel.

(Occurrence 0) son of man

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) son_of humankind prophesy to/towards mountains Yisrael and,say mountains Yisrael hear word/matter_of YHWH )

God calls Ezekiel this to emphasize that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful, but humans are not. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:1. Alternate translation: “mortal person” or “human”
