John Trapp on Ezekiel 1:3

Ver. 3. The Word of the Lord came expreſſely] Heb. by being hath been, or hath altogether been; Accurate factum eſt, it really wrought upon me, and made me a Prophet.

Ʋnto Ezekiel the Prieſt] Whom therefore ſome have called Ʋrim and Thummim in Babylon.

The ſon of Buzi] Thas this Buzi was Jeremy (ſo called becauſe deſpiſed for his plaindealing, as ſome Rabbines have affirmed) is as true as that Ezekiel himſelf was the ſame with Pythagoras the Philoſopher; which yet ſome Ancients have fondly fancied.

In the land of the Chaldaeans] Though a polluted land, Mic. 2.10. and the dwelling-place of wickedneſſe, Zach. 5.11. the mother of harlots, and abominations of the earth, Rev. 17.5.

Sabbatian. By the river Chebar] The Rabbines call it the Sabbath-river: and further tell us, that it runneth not, but reſteth on the Sabbath-day.

Hor.— Credat Judaeus Apella: Non ego —

And the hand of the Lord was there upon him] Not only came Gods Word expreſſely to him, but the power and Spirit of God came mightily upon him: ſo that he felt the intrinſecal vertue of this hand (as one phraſeth it) the Spirit of God in his own heart; it was a quick and lively word unto him, and to as many as beleeved.
