[1] Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.” [2] Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar. [3] The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side. [4] Yahweh said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” [5] To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity. [6] Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.”Then they began at the old men who were before the house. [7] He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!”They went out, and struck in the city. [8] While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?” [9] Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.’ [10] As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.” [11] Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”

Slaughter of the People
[1] He cried H7121 (QalImpf) also in mine ears H241 with a loud H1419 voice, H6963 saying, H559 (QalInf) Cause them that have charge H6486 over the city H5892 to draw near, H7126 (QalPerf) even every man H376 with his destroying H4892 weapon H3627 in his hand. H3027 [2] And, behold, six H8337 men H582 came H935 (QalActPtc) from the way H1870 of the higher H5945 gate, H8179 which lieth H6437 (HophPtc)§ toward the north, H6828 and every man H376 a slaughter H4660 weapon H3627§ in his hand; H3027 and one H259 man H376 among H8432 them was clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with linen, H906 with a writer’s H5608 (QalActPtc) inkhorn H7083 by his side: H4975§ and they went in, H935 (QalImpf) and stood H5975 (QalImpf) beside H681 the brasen H5178 altar. H4196 [3] And the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 was gone up H5927 (NiphPerf) from the cherub, H3742 whereupon he was, to the threshold H4670 of the house. H1004 And he called H7121 (QalImpf) to the man H376 clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with linen, H906 which had the writer’s H5608 (QalActPtc) inkhorn H7083 by his side; H4975 [4] and the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Go through H5674 (QalImpv) the midst H8432 of the city, H5892 through the midst H8432 of Jerusalem, H3389 and set H8427 (HiphPerf) a mark H8420§ upon the foreheads H4696 of the men H582 that sigh H584 (NiphPtc) and that cry H602 (NiphPtc) for all the abominations H8441 that be done H6213 (NiphPtc) in the midst H8432 thereof. [5] And to the others H428 he said H559 (QalPerf) in mine hearing, H241§ Go H5674 (QalImpv) ye after H310 him through the city, H5892 and smite: H5221 (HiphImpv) let not your eye H5869 spare, H2347 (QalImpf) neither have ye pity: H2550 (QalImpf) [6] slay H2026 (QalImpf) utterly H4889§ old H2205 and young, H970 both maids, H1330 and little children, H2945 and women: H802 but come not near H5066 (QalImpf) any man H376 upon whom is the mark; H8420 and begin H2490 (HiphImpf) at my sanctuary. H4720 Then they began H2490 (HiphImpf) at the ancient H2205 men H582 which were before H6440 the house. H1004 [7] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Defile H2930 (PielImpv) the house, H1004 and fill H4390 (PielImpv) the courts H2691 with the slain: H2491 go ye forth. H3318 (QalImpv) And they went forth, H3318 (QalPerf) and slew H5221 (HiphPerf) in the city. H5892 [8] And it came to pass, while they were slaying H5221 (HiphInf) them, and I was left, H7604 (NiphPtc) that I fell H5307 (QalImpf) upon my face, H6440 and cried, H2199 (QalImpf) and said, H559 (QalImpf) Ah H162 Lord H136 God! H3069 wilt thou destroy H7843 (HiphPtc) all the residue H7611 of Israel H3478 in thy pouring out H8210 (QalInf) of thy fury H2534 upon Jerusalem? H3389 [9] Then said H559 (QalImpf) he unto me, The iniquity H5771 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 is exceeding H3966 great, H1419 and the land H776 is full H4390 (NiphImpf) of§ blood, H1818 and the city H5892 full H4390 (QalPerf) of perverseness: H4297§ for they say, H559 (QalPerf) The Lord H3068 hath forsaken H5800 (QalPerf) the earth, H776 and the Lord H3068 seeth H7200 (QalActPtc) not. [10] And as for me also, mine eye H5869 shall not spare, H2347 (QalImpf) neither will I have pity, H2550 (QalImpf) but I will recompense H5414 (QalPerf) their way H1870 upon their head. H7218 [11] And, behold, the man H376 clothed H3847 (QalPasPtc) with linen, H906 which had the inkhorn H7083 by his side, H4975 reported H7725 (HiphPtc) the matter, H1697§ saying, H559 (QalInf) I have done H6213 (QalPerf) as thou hast commanded H6680 (PielPerf) me.Footnotes
