tEzek 2::3 Son of man - This appellative, so often mentioned in this book, seems to have been given first to this prophet; afterwards to Daniel; and after that to the Man Christ Jesus. Perhaps it was given to the two former to remind them of their frailty, and that they should not be exalted in their own minds by the extraordinary revelations granted to them; and that they should feel themselves of the same nature with those to whom they were sent; and, from the common principle of humanity, deeply interest themselves in the welfare of their unhappy countrymen. To the latter it might have been appropriated merely to show that though all his actions demonstrated him to be God, yet that he was also really Man; and that in the man Christ Jesus dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. When the acts of Christ are considered, it is more easy to believe his eternal Godhead, than to be convinced that the person we hear speaking, and see working, is also a man like unto ourselves.
I send thee to the children of Israel - To those who were now in captivity, in Chald:ea particularly; and to the Jews in general, both far and near. Ezekiel 2:4

tEzek 2::1
EZEKIEL'S COMMISSION. (Eze 2:1-10)Son of man--often applied to Ezekiel; once only to Daniel (Dan 8:17), and not to any other prophet. The phrase was no doubt taken from Chald:ean usage during the sojourn of Daniel and Ezekiel in Chald:ea. But the spirit who sanctioned the words of the prophet implied by it the lowliness and frailty of the prophet as man "lower than the angels," though now admitted to the vision of angels and of God Himself, "lest he should be exalted through the abundance of the revelations" (Co2 12:7). He is appropriately so called as being type of the divine "Son of man" here revealed as "man" (see on Eze 1:26). That title, as applied to Messiah, implies at once His lowliness and His exaltation, in His manifestations as the Representative man, at His first and second comings respectively (Psa 8:4-8; Mat 16:13; Mat 20:18; and on the other hand, Dan 7:13-14; Mat 26:64; Joh 5:27).
