エゼキエル書 9:1-2 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 9:2

Behold, six men , etc. The man clothed with linen brings the number up to the sacred number seven, as in Zechariah 4:10 ; Revelation 1:16 , Revelation 1:20 ; Revelation 15:6 . He is over them rather than among them, and answers to the scribe who appears so frequently in Assyrian sculptures, as the secretary who counts the prisoners that have been taken in battle. They come from the north, the region from which the vision of Ezekiel 1:4 had come, in which, in the nearer vision of ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 9:2

A writer's inkhorn. Here was a singular contrast. When Jerusalem was about to be given over to slaughter, six armed men went forth for the work of destruction, their accoutrements and military bearing quite in harmony with the dread circumstances of the day; but accompanied by a most incongruous companion, a civilian, one of the city clerks, perhaps, with no better ammunition than an inkhorn. When, however, the work of this man of ink is apparent, his function is seen to be of supreme... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 9:2

Six men - angels of wrath - figurative of destruction. They come from the north, the quarter from which invading armies entered the holy land. These “six” angels, with the “one among them,” a superior over the six, make up the number “seven,” a number symbolic of God’s covenant with His people.The higher gate - The north gate of the court of the priests. The temple rose by platforms; as there was a north gate to the outer and also to the inner court, the latter was probably distinguished as the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 9:1-2

Ezekiel 9:1-2. He cried also in mine ears Namely, the man whom he had seen upon the throne; with a loud voice This denoted the terribleness of the judgments which were going to be inflicted. Cause them that have charge, &c. That is, says Lowth, “the angels who had the charge of executing God’s judgments upon the city.” Or it may be intended of the Chaldean army, or of its principal leaders, who had a charge or commission against Jerusalem, to avenge the divine justice of it, because... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Execution of the sinners (9:1-11)God’s punishment of Jerusalem was illustrated by a vision in which God sent his executioners to carry out his work of judgment on the sinful people. First, however, he sent a special servant to put a mark on those who opposed the city’s wickedness, so that they might be preserved through the coming bloodshed (9:1-4). The first place where the judgment fell was the temple, where the nation’s leaders had led the people astray with their wickedness and idolatry.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1

THE WICKED ISRAELITES SLAIN; THE FAITHFUL SPAREDThis chapter continues the great theme of these four chapters by recording the first stage of the removal of God's presence (Ezekiel 9:3). Keil's divisions of the chapter are: (1) the supernatural executioners of Jerusalem are summoned (Ezekiel 9:1-3; (2) mercy is extended to the faithful (Ezekiel 9:4-7); and (3) Ezekiel's intercession cannot avail (Ezekiel 9:8-11).[1]THE EXECUTIONERS SUMMONEDEzekiel 9:1-3"Then he cried in mine ears with a loud... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-2

Ezekiel 9:1-2. Cause them that have charge, &c.— Those who are the avengers of the city: the Chaldeans, whom God had appointed to besiege and destroy this city. Some understand it of the angels, who have the charge of executing God's judgments; and if so, instead of man and men, we should read person and persons. One of these was in the habit of a scribe, and employed in the work of mercy; unlike the rest, who were warriors and destroyers. They stood by the brazen altar; to denote that the... read more
