Kommentar zu Jechezkiel 3:17
בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם צֹפֶ֥ה נְתַתִּ֖יךָ לְבֵ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֤ מִפִּי֙ דָּבָ֔ר וְהִזְהַרְתָּ֥ אוֹתָ֖ם מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
'Menschensohn, ich habe dich zum Wächter des Hauses Israel ernannt; und wenn du ein Wort an meinem Mund hörst, sollst du sie vor mir warnen.
Rashi on Ezekiel
I have made you a lookout Why are you silent? Is it not as a lookoutone who is appointed over the towers to see to it that if armies come to the city, the shofar shall be sounded to warn the people to gather and strengthen themselves—that I have appointed you; to warn them to beware of retribution, so that I need not bring it upon them.
