General Information:
Ezekiel continues to tell about the vision that he saw.
He said to me
The word "He" refers to the "one who looked like a man" (Ezekiel 1:26).
Son of man
"Son of a human being" or "Son of humanity." God calls Ezekiel this to emphasize that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful, but humans are not. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:1. Alternate translation: "Mortal person" or "Human"
what you have found
This refers to the scroll that God was giving him (Ezekiel 2:9).
the house of Israel
The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. Alternate translation: "the Israelites" or "the Israelite people group" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
