Ezekiel 1 – Forbidden Reading
Concerning the vision in Ezekiel 1:
“It has thus been, on the one hand, the point of departure for generations of mystics, who have scrutinized it in the hope of retracing Ezekiel’s steps, and finding their own path to the direct encounter with with God’s very being. Precisely for that reason, however, Jewish law forbade the public teaching of Ezekiel’s vision, and tradition even limited its study in private to the company of mature adults.” (James L. Kugel, How To Read the Bible, p.601)
