Comment on Ezekiel 2:1 From The Stone Tanach

 Page 1210:

Throughout this Book, God addresses Ezekiel as "Son of Adam," i.e., of Man, and speaks of Israel collectively as "Adam" (34:31, 36:10). The reference is to Adam, the first man, and the mission for which he was created. By the use of these names, God suggests to Ezekiel that he and his nation, despite their severe shortcomings, are still expected to live up to God's hopes for humanity, the mission that was originally given to Adam and then transferred to Abraham and his offspring (R' M. Eisemann).

And to me and to you.
