# in the sixth year
|
|
|
|
You may need to make explicit the time period of which this is the sixth year. AT: "in the sixth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|

|
# the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month
|
|
|
|
This is the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar. The fifth day is near the beginning of September on Western calendars. AT: "the fifth day of the sixth month." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-hebrewmonths]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]])

|
|
# the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me
|
|
|
|
This should be translated literally, as Ezekiel later sees something like a hand. Others may choose to consider the hand a metaphor for Yahweh's presence or power. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# Lord Yahweh
|
|
|
|
See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 2:4](../02/04.md).

|
"took hold of"

# a likeness with the appearance of a man
|
|
|

Here the abstract noun "likeness" means that what Ezekiel saw looked like a man. Both "likeness" and "appearance" can be translated with a verbal phrase. AT: "there was someone who appeared to be a man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

|
# the appearance of his hips ... the appearance of something shining
|
|
|
|
The abstract noun "appearance" can be translated as a verb. AT: "what appeared to be his hips ... what appeared to be something shining" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
