# linen

"smooth cloth". A strong, smooth cloth made from a plant. It is worn by many people in places that are hot. (See how you translated this in Ezekiel 9:2). God told the man dressed in linen to take coals from between the wheels of the throne and scatter them over the city of Jerusalem. This was a symbolic action that showed God's judgment against the city and that it would be destroyed.

# Go between the wheels

Translate the word "wheels" as in Ezekiel 1:15.

# fiery coals

Coals are burned pieces of wood left over after a fire and are called charcoal. They are black, but glow red and orange when very hot. 

# scatter them over the city

"sprinkle them over the city" or "spread them over the city"
