Ezekiel 9:4

9:4 The Lord said to him, “Go through the city of Jerusalem ⁶  and put a mark ⁷  on the foreheads of the people who moan and groan over all the abominations practiced in it.”

[35:7]  ¹ tc The translation reads with some manuscripts לְשִׁמְמָה וּמְשַׁמָּה (lÿshimmah umÿshammah, “desolate ruin”) as in verse 3 and often in Ezekiel. The majority reading reverses the first mem (מ) with the shin (שׁ) resulting in the repetition of the word desolate: לְשִׁמְמָה וּשְׁמָמָה (lÿshimmah ushÿmamah).

[35:7]  ² tn Or “kill.”

[1:9]  ³ tn Heb “They each went in the direction of one of his faces.”

[1:12]  ⁵ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ⁶ tn Or “wind.”

[9:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem.”

[9:4]  ⁸ tn The word translated “mark” is in Hebrew the letter ת (tav). Outside this context the only other occurrence of the word is in Job 31:35. In ancient Hebrew script this letter was written like the letter X.
