Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008).[5]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BC. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).[6][a]
Verse 2
- Suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.[8]
This "one man among them", clothed in linen like the "man clothed in linen" in Daniel 10:5, was an additional, seventh, person.[9] The high priest's garments are of linen,[10] but these linen garments "mark the man’s divine sanctity and eminence, not [his] priestly rank".[9]

- that sigh and that cry for all the abominations
- "Mark" (Hebrew: תו tāw): interpreted as a "sign of exemption from judgment" (also in
Verse 6
- “Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women;
- but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark;
- and begin at My sanctuary.”
- So they began with the elders who were before the temple. (NKJV)[17]
- "On whom is the mark": gives a hint that some people will survive ("such as those with the special mark on their foreheads").[18]
- "The elders": same as those in Ezekiel 8:16.[15]
- "Mark": see notes on Ezekiel 9:4.
Verse 11
- Just then, the man clothed with linen,
- who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said,
- “I have done as You commanded me.” (NKJV)[19]
