Context
The Execution of Idolaters
9:1 Then he shouted in my ears , “Approach , you who are to visit destruction on the city , each with his destructive weapon in his hand !”
9:2 Next, I noticed six men coming from the direction of the upper gate which faces north , each with his war club in his hand . Among them was a man dressed in linen with a writing kit at his side . They came and stood beside the bronze altar .
9:3 Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub where it had rested to the threshold of the temple . He called to the man dressed in linen who had the writing kit at his side .
9:4 The Lord said to him, “Go through the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of the people who moan and groan over all the abominations practiced in it .”
9:5 While I listened , he said to the others , “Go through the city after him and strike people down ; do no let your eye pity nor spare anyone!
9:6 Old men , young men , young women , little children , and women – wipe them out ! But do not touch anyone who has the mark . Begin at my sanctuary !” So they began with the elders who were at the front of the temple .
9:7 He said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courtyards with corpses . Go !” So they went out and struck people down throughout the city .

NET Notes: Eze 9:1 Heb “they approached.” Reading the imperative assumes the same consonantal text but different vowels.

NET Notes: Eze 9:2 Or “a scribe’s inkhorn.” The Hebrew term occurs in the OT only in Ezek 9 and is believed to be an Egyptian loanword.
