Ezekiel 3:1

The prophet eats the book, and receives further instructions: the office of a watchman.

1 And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.” ^{▼▼3:1 Eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel: By this eating of the book was signified the diligent attention and affection with which we are to receive, and embrace the word of God; and to let it, as it were, sink into our interior by devout meditation.(Challoner)}
