EZEKIEL 2:9
[Ezekiel 2:9 AKJV] — "And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, a roll of a book was therein;"
[Ezekiel 2:9 KJV] — "And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;"

It was not while he looked, but when he looked, that he beheld the Hand that was sent to him. Then suddenly, something that he did not see before in the Hand immediately appeared in the Hand and that which was in the Hand was a Scroll - Book — Written Words of God. He did not see what held the Hand or what the Hand was holding until it was within for him to see the Scroll in the Hand.
Many have said, "See the Hand Writing on the Wall" but I tell you that it's better to "See the Hand Writings in the Hand?" For that Hand is actually a manifestation of the Word of God. The Hand is not just containing/creating the Written Words of God; rather the Hand is actually the Word of God manifested as Hand.
The Word of God is the Word of Life, and from the beginning:
[1 John 1:1] — "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked on, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;"
***1*** To show this Hand is also the Word of God — As Ezekiel watched, there was sudden appearance of the written Scroll inside the Hand when the Hand came to him. The Hand was not holding the Scroll before coming to Ezekiel. By the way, who was that pastor that said Jesus Christ did not write any book and yet books were written about Him?
***2*** To show this Hand is also the Word of God — When the Hand only touched Jeremiah's mouth, God said He has put His Words in Jeremiah's mouth. So whatever that Hand touched suddenly contained the Words of God in it.
[Jeremiah 1:9] — "Then the LORD put forth His Hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth."
***3*** To show this Hand is also the Word of God — The Hand is actually a Man's Hand, not looking like a man's Hand but actually a Man's Hand with Fingers of a Man's Hand expressing the Word of God in writings instead of in audio or oral form.
[Daniel 5:5 BSB'19] — "At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. As the king watched the hand that was writing,"
Now, from the beginning, the Spirit Being that has always been identified as Man or with Mankind has always been the Word of God or Son of God. Other Spirit Beings only have metaphors or likeness of a man, but He who has been Man even before Adam was formed was the Word of God Himself. The only difference at His Birth through Mary was that He became flesh, not that He became Man. He has been Man from everlasting, but He was not flesh until He was born Jesus Christ. Adam only first Him to become flesh, but He first Adam to become Man. Man but Spirit.
***4*** To show this Hand is also the Spirit of God — The Hand is a Man's Hand, but the Hand is also the Spirit of God. When the Hand held Ezekiel by his hair and pulled Ezekiel by the locks of his hair or head.
[Ezekiel 8:3 NKJV] — He stretched out the form of a Hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.
[Ezekiel 37:1] — "The Hand of the LORD was on me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones,"
There's a book of the bible you don't find anything like the "Spirit of God" mentioned in that book and yet Ezra always mentioned "Hand of God" (instead of "Spirit of God") upon men and women of God who did extra ordinary miracles by the Hand of God resting on them. (Ezra 7:6, 9, 14, 25, 28, 8:18, 22, 31). Other examples wherein the "Hand of God" instead of the Spirit of God, was said to be the influence on men of God — 1 Kings 18:46, Nehemiah 2:8, 18.
Like God sends His Spirit, God may also send a Hand. Remember this was happening inside heaven in Ezekiel's Visions or Trance, not even in the Physical: and yet, only the Hand was sent without the rest of the Body or anything bearing the Hand. Yet even in the physical was such Hand seen.
