General Information:
Yahweh tells Ezekiel to speak a prophecy. Ezekiel is to speak to the mountains of Israel, but the message is for all of the people of Israel.
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"
prophesy to the mountains of Israel
God wants Ezekiel to speak to the mountains as if they were people. The message is for the people of Israel. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
