Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me,.... Not of an angel, but of Christ himself, in a visionary way; for this was not a real hand, but the likeness of one, as in Ezekiel 8:3; and so the Targum here,
"and I saw, and behold, the likeness of a hand stretched out on the side to me.''
This symbol was to show that his prophecy, that he was sent to deliver, was from heaven and came from Christ; and that hand that delivered it to him would protect and defend him:
and, lo a roll of a book [was] therein; held in it, and held forth by it, to the prophet. Books were frequently written on parchment or vellum, and rolled about a stick, in form of a cylinder; and hence they were called volumes or rolls, Psalms 40:7. This roll was a symbol of the prophecy of this book.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Was sent - Rather, was put forth.
A roll of a book - The book was one of the ancient kind written on skins rolled up together. Hence, our English volume Psalms 40:7. The writing was usually on one side, but in this case it was written within and without, on both sides, the writing as it were running over, to express the abundance of the calamities in store for the devoted people. To eat the book signifies to be thoroughly possessed with its contents (compare Ezekiel 3:10; Jeremiah 15:16). There should be no break between Ezekiel 2:10 and Ezekiel 3:0.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 2:9. A hand was sent — Here the hand signifies not only the instrument of conveyance, but an emblem of the Divine power, which the hand of God always signifies.
A roll of a book — מגלת שפר megillath sepher. All ancient books were written so as to be rolled up; hence volumen, a volume, from volvo, I roll.
