Ezekiel
The Spirit (Dis)Abled Son of Man
Abstract
This article seeks only to begin an exploration of the ways in which the רוח or Spirit[1] (dis)ables Ezekiel as prophetic witness. This is proposed to be directly tied to the preferential naming of Ezekiel as בן־אדם (“son of man”) throughout the book of Ezekiel. Scholars have long contended that this name refers to the human-ness of Ezekiel, but this article proposes to fill a lacuna regarding the rhetorical function of this name as it ties in directly to Ezekiel’s experiences of the Spirit of Yahweh as prophetic witness to and for and as Israel.
