Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Unto the man clothed with linen.--Hitherto, in Ezekiel 9, he has been employed only in a work of mercy and protection. It is not without significance that now the same person is made the agent of judgment. As God's love is turned to wrath by man's impenitence, and as His blessings given to man become curses by their abuse, so those employed by Him as the instruments of His loving-kindness become the very executioners of his "fury." The "coals of fire," the symbols of Divine wrath, are represented as "between the cherubim." In every possible way it is signified that the impending doom is not from man's will, however men may be used as its instruments, or from any accident, but from God Himself.Scatter them over the city.--For its destruction. Perhaps the imagery does not signify anything more than destruction, without especial reference to the means employed; but 2Kings 25:9 and 2Chronicles 36:19 show that the Temple and city were actually burned by the Chaldaeans, as was often done with conquered cities that had resisted obstinately.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd the LORD saidוַיֹּ֜אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, saytoאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe manהָאִ֣ישׁ ׀ (hā·’îš)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personclothedלְבֻ֣שׁ (lə·ḇuš)Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular constructStrong's 3847: Wrap around, to put on a, garment, clothein linen,הַבַּדִּ֗ים (hab·bad·dîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 906: Flaxen thread, yarn, a linen garment“Goבֹּא֩ (bō)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goinsideאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe wheelworkלַגַּלְגַּ֜ל (lag·gal·gal)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1534: A wheel, a whirlwind, dustbeneathתַּ֣חַת (ta·ḥaṯ)PrepositionStrong's 8478: The bottom, below, in lieu ofthe cherubim.לַכְּר֗וּב (lak·kə·rūḇ)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3742: Probably an order of angelic beingsFillוּמַלֵּ֨א (ū·mal·lê)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 4390: To fill, be full ofyour handsחָפְנֶ֤יךָ (ḥā·p̄ə·ne·ḵā)Noun - mdc | second person masculine singularStrong's 2651: The hollow of the handwith burning coalsגַֽחֲלֵי־ (ḡa·ḥă·lê-)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1513: An emberfrom amongבֵּינ֨וֹת (bê·nō·wṯ)PrepositionStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenthe cherubimלַכְּרֻבִ֔ים (lak·kə·ru·ḇîm)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 3742: Probably an order of angelic beingsand scatterוּזְרֹ֖ק (ū·zə·rōq)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 2236: Be here and there, scatter, sprinkle, strew them overעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe city.”הָעִ֑יר (hā·‘îr)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5892: ExcitementAnd as I watched,לְעֵינָֽי׃ (lə·‘ê·nāy)Preposition-l | Noun - cdc | first person common singularStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainhe went in.וַיָּבֹ֖א (way·yā·ḇō)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goJump to PreviousCherub Cherubim Cherubims City Clothed Coals Dash Entered Fill Fire Hand Hands Linen Scatter Watched Wheels Wheelwork Whirling
