As you know I have no training. So all I offer is an idea. After long_______________________________________________
thinking I came up with a translation that I think fits both context and
makes sense from the hebrew. The root means as you know, to be clear, in
the forefront, shine, to demonstrate, allthe way to judge correct dispute
in the hiphil; I then took hold of the two letters כח which mean strength.
You need strength and clarity to perform all of the tasks that you
mentioned in your description. So my translation would be: "...you will
be silent and you will appear as one who is not in his right mind...." I
think a colloquial expression would have fitted the meaning, and looking at
it from the peoples' point of view who would see and know ezekiel this is
how God wanted him to appear for a short while (poor guy).
