# General Information:

Ezekiel continues to tell about the vision that started in [Ezekiel 8:1](../08/01.md).

# to the eastern gate of the house of Yahweh, facing east

This gate was part of the wall that surrounded the temple area. Alternate translation: "the gate on the eastern side of the wall surrounding the house of Yahweh" or "the gate on the eastern wall of the temple courtyard"

# the house of Yahweh

See how you translated this phrase in [Ezekiel 8:16](../08/16.md).

# behold

The word "behold" here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.

# twenty-five men

"25 men" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

# Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah

These are the names of men. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

# among them

"among the twenty-five men"
