But if you believe he was being lazy in writing his notes (a number of
them were wrong) then he could be alluding to another passage in
Ezekiel.  The reference to 2:1 happens to be the first one in Ezekiel
in which the phrase occurs (as if he were just looking for one to put
down.)

Can these bones live?
