Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 3:2
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
So, Heb. And; so soon as he had heard he must eat it. I opened my mouth; not to discuss points, but to obey, to show my readiness indeed, and to do what lay on me to do.
He caused me to eat that roll; not by a force compelling me, but by a concurrent help in what the prophet was ready to do.

Ps 81:10. The efficacy and sufficiency to think of good things, to meditate upon them, receive and digest them, are of God; it is he that makes men prophets, and able ministers. The Targum is,
“and I inclined my soul, and he taught me (or made me wise “with”) what was written in this roll.”
