Ezekiel 1 - Introduction

The first three Chapter s, describing the circumstances and character of Ezekiel’s call to the prophetic office, form the introduction to the whole book, and the three first verses, giving the time, the person, and the place, are the introduction to this introduction. (Comp. the similar arrangement of Revelation 1, which forms the introduction to that book, and of Ezekiel 1:1, which are the introduction to that chapter.)
