Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 9:1

1. cried—contrasted with their "cry" for mercy ( :-) is the "cry" here for vengeance, showing how vain was the former. them that have charge—literally, officers; so "officers" ( :-), having the city in charge, not to guard, but to punish it. The angels who as "watchers" fulfil God's judgments (Daniel 4:13; Daniel 4:17; Daniel 4:23; Daniel 10:20; Daniel 10:21); the "princes" (Jeremiah 39:3) of Nebuchadnezzar's army were under their guidance. draw near—in the Hebrew intensive, "to draw near... read more

2. clothed with linen— (Daniel 10:5; Daniel 12:6; Daniel 12:7). His clothing marked his office as distinct from that of the six officers of vengeance; "linen" characterized the high priest (Daniel 12:7- :); emblematic of purity. The same garment is assigned to the angel of the Lord (for whom Michael is but another name) by the contemporary prophet Daniel (Daniel 10:5; Daniel 12:6; Daniel 12:7). Therefore the intercessory High Priest in heaven must be meant (Daniel 12:7- :). The six with Him are... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 9:1

In his vision Ezekiel heard the Lord (cf. Ezekiel 9:4) cry out loudly for the executioners (guards), who would punish the people of Jerusalem, to draw near to Him with their weapons in hand. The Lord had predicted that the people would cry out to Him for mercy with a loud voice (Ezekiel 8:18), but first He cried out against them in judgment with a loud voice. Though these executioners looked like men, they appear to have been angels in view of what they proceeded to do. Evidently Ezekiel’s... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 9:2

Six men entered the inner courtyard from the north (upper; Ezekiel 8:3; Ezekiel 8:5; Ezekiel 8:14) gate each with a lethal weapon in his hand (cf. Jeremiah 51:20). A seventh man dressed in linen also approached with them, and he had a writing kit of the type that scribes used attached to his waist."This writing kit usually was made from an animal horn. It had a palette with a slot for pens and a hollow place for two kinds of ink, usually black and red. Professional scribes usually carried this... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-11

The Slaughter of the Idolaters in JerusalemThe voice which has been speaking to Ezekiel now summons six supernatural beings armed with weapons of slaughter. They are attended by a seventh robed like a priest and equipped as a scribe. They come from the north, and take their stand by the brasen altar in the inner court. The ’glory of God’ leaves the living chariot and stands at the threshold of the main Temple building. The man who acts as scribe is instructed to go through the city and set a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 9:1

(1) He cried also . . . with a loud voice.—The pronoun refers to the same Being as throughout the previous chapter. His nature is sufficiently shown by the prophet’s address to Him in Ezekiel 9:8 : “Ah, Lord God!” The “loud voice” was to give emphasis to what is said; it is the natural expression of the fierceness of the Divine indignation and wrath.Them that have charge over the city.—Not earthly officers, but those to whom God has especially entrusted the execution of His will concerning... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 9:2

(2) One man among them was clothed with linen.—He was among them, but not of them. There were six with weapons, and this one without a weapon formed the seventh, thus making up the mystical number so often used in Scripture. He was “clothed in linen,” the ordinary priestly garment, and the special garment of the high priest at the ceremonies on the great Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:0); yet also used by others, and on other occasions, simply as a garment of purity and of distinction (comp.... read more

Ezekiel 9:1-2 'That which has made me publish this book,' says Bunyan in his preface to The Life and Death of Mr. Badman, 'is for that wickedness like a flood is like to drown our English world; it begins already to be above the tops of the mountains.... Oh that I could mourn for England, and for the sins that are committed therein, even while I see that, without repentance, the men of God's wrath are about to deal with us, each having his slaughtering weapon in his hand.' Ezekiel 9:4 I think... read more

YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATEEzekiel 8:1-18; Ezekiel 9:1-11; Ezekiel 10:1-22; Ezekiel 11:1-25ONE of the most instructive phases of religious belief among the Israelites of the seventh century was the superstitious regard in which the Temple at Jerusalem was held. Its prestige as the metropolitan sanctuary had no doubt steadily increased from the time when it was built. But it was in the crisis of the Assyrian invasion that the popular sentiment in favour of its peculiar sanctity was... read more
