Ezekiel 11:1

The Fall of Jerusalem

11:1 A wind ⁴  lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple that faces the east. There, at the entrance of the gate, I noticed twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. ⁵

⁴ tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

⁵ sn The phrase officials of the people occurs in Neh 11:1; 1 Chr 21:2; 2 Chr 24:23.
