A sort of skin for making records upon. Before the art of printing, this was the method of forming registers, and making memorandums. Hence we are told that the prophet Jeremiah was commanded to take the roll of a book, and write all the words which the Lord had said unto him concerning Israel and Judah; and that Baruch wrote upon a roll, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord. (Jeremiah 36:1, etc.) So Ezekiel's visions were written in a roll, and the Lord caused him to eat it; intimating, no doubt figuratively, the durable impression the words of the Lord made upon his mind. (See Ezekiel 2:1-10; Ezekiel 3:1-27; Revelation 10:9. See also Jeremiah 15:16)
