Ezekiel 33:7
So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
So thou, O son of man,.... Here begins the application of the parable to the prophet himself, describing his office and his duty:
I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; which is repeated from Ezekiel 3:17,
See Gill on "Ezekiel 3:17". The Targum is,
"I have appointed thee a teacher;''
a spiritual watchman; so pastors, teachers, ministers of the Gospel, are watchmen, 2 Timothy 4:5:
therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me. The Targum is,
"thou shalt receive the word from my Word, and warn them from sinning before me.''
